Resistance to that which you have judged unpleasant, untenable, unacceptable, un-beautiful, etc., and seeking only the opposites does little more than complicate your life and create unnecessary contraction from the only thing you can experience. That is, life itself in all its luster and nuance.
It’s not a question of knowing the good because you have experienced the bad. Turning away from any aspect of life makes you jaded, self-centered, and ever seeking that which isn’t and, consequently, that which cannot be. The good, as you define it, contains the seed of evil, just as evil includes the seed of good. Everything is bundled in reality, regardless of how you judge it. Life moves all by itself, as is; You, “as is,” can too. Just take your judgment and quest for preference out of it! Now, that’s how to live fully.
