I agree with the purposeful suffering. We dip karpas in salt water to remember the tears cried by the slaves, but God put us under this torture for a reason. It might have been that He wanted us to see that even though we are the Chosen Ones, awful events can still happen to us too. Karpas is dipped to understand that spring time will come with new beginnings again, just like Moses and God leading us out of Egypt.
