@Kira agree with you and looooooved the way you put it, that's the purpose of "stories"! The story were made to influence our emotions while reading, not only sadness but also joy, anger, nervous, thrilling, fearfu, embarrassment, empathy, excitement etc. Why would you bother to read a book if you don't want these emotions? Do you really read for the plot? Monotonous books with no climax and everything is boring to me, unless I want to relax my mind from traumatised books or stressful situations then that might be an exception.
