Imagine for me, if you will, that you are slowly being crushed to death by some sort of machine.
You are lying between two slabs of, let's say, concrete. An elaborate system of gears and pulleys is pressing the two slabs together (mustn't forget: with you in between).
Now on one of the, let's say, thousand gears, one of the teeth is missing. So, with regularity, the gears catch and the entire mechanism sighs for a moment, and an instant passes within which the crushing stops its inevitable forward motion.
You experience a sort of bliss.
Remember: you are still being crushed to death by some sort of machine.
