We can feel good only against evil

Question from the Internet:

“If the world was just good, what would it be like?”

If the world would be “just good,” we would not be able to feel of perceive that “goodness.”

Our perception of reality and our experiences are based on contrast and comparative research. We cannot feel or differentiate light without farkness, sweet without bitter and love without hate.

Our Human uniqueness is and truly Human consciousness is based on differentiating and attaining the “goodness” of mutual integration, selfless and unconditional love against our inherent, selfish and exploitative individuality and instinctive distrust and hate against one another.

This is why human beings are born inherently selfish, egocentric, introverted and exploitative towards each other and nature, so we could consciously and purposefully learn, practice and tangibly attain “true goodness” through totally selfless, mutually responsible, mutually complementing and unconditionally serving and loving connections between us.

It will be this duality and unique contrast between our inherent and actively acquired natures that will elevate us to the truly Human level, tangibly and realistically feeling and experiencing life as perfect and utterly good, since we recognize and verify this goodness against our inherent “evil.”
