Why do painful emotions please us?
Why do people enjoy watching tragedy? Is it because it's a good reminder that we're all going to die anyway, and so when we have to act, we should act decisively and well? Suffering is an inescapable part of life - is watching tragic movies, reading unhappy endings in literature, etc., a mental and emotional preparation/acting out for when we eventually have to meet up with suffering ourselves?
