Why does pain/sadness cover over joy?

Even after the wonderful thing that Ani did last night,
the pain on her face with her gassy stomach almost overshadowed her accomplishment.
Why is this?
Why should I allow my empathetic feelings for her sour tummy blot out something great?
That's sad, in and of itself.
I have a (even more so) new found appreciation of care-givers. Their love and service
comes, even though they see pain, sadness and sorrow. They can see through this, they
can see the potential, and not get themselves down. I envy them for this.
