Noble Truth of Suffering

The thing that caught my eye was the short paragraph in the beginning of the chapter. It explained that almost everything, if not everything, as composed of suffering. For the most part I agree with this but I don't believe that everything is composed of suffering. If that were the case then there wouldn't be a point in living. You care for people, and when they die you suffer because of that connection you had with them. This is what I think of the paragraph: everything that is good will eventually come back and bite you in the ass. But its the good part that is worth the suffering in the end. Having friends, a significant other and sharing the good times with them, to me, are worth the pain that you feel in the end.
I may be on the wrong track with this but that's who I perceived this part.
