The Buddhist idea of suffering is like a vicious cycle, or an addiction.
You can say a heroin addict feels really nice and high sometimes, but this is not really a good thing because that pleasure is a means of perpetuated addiction and the harm that comes with it.
That's why you have Paṭikkūlamanasikāra (contemplation of repulsiveness), where you go through all the repulsive / unclean bodily components that make you up, or Maraṇasati (contemplation of death), where you reflect on the different stages of a decomposing corpse. They're methods of waking you up to the situation you're in.
It seems really common to forget Gautama Buddha wasn't born into some disgusting hellhole that makes his view of suffering inapplicable us in modern times. It's the complete opposite, he was born into extreme luxury and comfort. Feeling good / enjoying life aren't some sort of counterargument against Buddhism, they were covered from the beginning as part of the seductive illusions that keep you coming back to the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.
