Absolutely. Some people are pathological, associating pain with nurturing because of a parents abuse. Many codependent relationships are based on the give and take of pain. Many artists are self destructive chasing it like a drug. With the right perception one can see beauty in pain. Pain can also be joyful when it's experienced within the healing process. Without the bitter the sweet wouldn't be as sweet. Best put by
