Ponder while I wander....right?

I had a friend email me this week with this question and I would love your response and ideas on it:

"I was thinking about Greek theatre and while this concept is NOT original I want to run it by you.

Greek drama is divided into both tragedy and comedy (the two masks) yet don't both of these concepts depend on the perception of pain to get their message across to the audience? This bothers me as I think a full understanding of life entails tragedy and comedy, but if they do both depend on pain, where does this leave us in terms of learning from experience."

I don't quite have a definite answer for this one yet.
