Agreeing with others, you don't go too far enough. I find painful things about as dissimilar as pleasurable things.

On the other hand, it seems like I'm "carving nature at its joints" to separate things that I like from things that I dislike - there is something that poetry and pushpin have in common that is not shared by a stubbed toe.
