[yiaapnxn] Beware what pleases you

Beware of what pleases you, for the reason it pleases you might be the result of sinister forces harming the world. This obviously explains schadenfreude.  The only exceptions might be the basest of pleasures which are biologically hardcoded, though I don't know how base you have to go: certainly there are a lot of sinister forces affecting how much you enjoy sex.

Similarly for what displeases you.

There is also a vague meta "delight in taking delight" which I think is stronger in some people than others.
