I guess it depends on who you ask. Destruction (especially
permanent or at least the difficult to repair kind.) is the only thing
you don't really want right? As for pleaser AND pain itself, give me

only the electromagnetic radiation, chemical content, acoustical
vibrations, kinetic energy of molecules... and bodily damage our
brains merely arbitrarily represent with such phenomenon.
