it is because of the societal link and to some extend construct of the sort like: "no pain, no gain" or healing needing to hurt.
However, we (co-)create our own reality and bring ourself to the experiences we think we should be having. So, if we believe that we need to suffer in order to gain (or lose as some go after losing stuff as 'gaining' or instead of gaining) then we will have to suffer for it. Or we wont believe it, or will seek something that behaves as we think it should be
many also believe in the punishment/suffering stuff instilled by Christian society, that adds an additional layer..
Without the foregrounded self there is a lot less suffering naturally anyhow.. cause the self suffering (self-pity etc) is what turns stuff up quite a notch (to the basic level of body suffering) or even is the only kind of suffering a person may be having.
