It is meaningless. You attach those meanings yourself. And just like you attach them to pain, you can attach them to joy..even this one.

@Miram Damn girl you got me thinking deep again. But you are correct. We assign meaning to pain and joy and I myself see no association between the two except it's possible for the experience of one can wipe out the other.

@Miram Well, I'm totally confused, but I'm also super tired and not thinking at peak performance.

I think they sink in further with pain, but that's because people naturally remember pain more than not, which is not nessarily a good thing.
