Pain

Why does everything have to hurt so much? Why are we forced to feel sorrow? I always hear people say that sorrow is just the flip-side of joy and that you have to take one to experience the other. But why does it always seem that these two emotions come in waves?
I seem to go through phases of times of happiness and then phases of pain. In short bursts any emotion is manageable, but when I get swept up in a sea of pain it seems unbearable at times. When the sadness is so strong you can feel it physically, I sometimes wish I could die.
Luckily, that is when the joy comes and washes it away. But what if the joy refuses to come? What if you are just too sad for too long?
