Why do narcotic pain killers make you feel so good?

I understand why narcotic pain killers like vicodin and darvocet have to be strong, but why do they make you feel so good? Is it do get your mind off the pain? Or does it happen to be a side effect and just a coincidence. Do you think the companies want you to get addicted?

In my case it makes me feel good cause it kills the pain that I deal with all the time in my knees.

    I think it is because they make you feel extremely relaxed and remove feelings of anxiety( which we all have naturally to some degree in order to keep us alert and safe.)
