Goodness requires misfortune or malfunction to have meaning I donno... ive never bought into this idea that you need bad to understand good, or that good is meaningless without bad.. to me its like saying that you cant understand or enjoy something sweet unless you have never tasted something sour.
Surely the mechanisms in our brains that elicit positive feedback (pleasure etc) do not require the function of negative feedback (pain, dissatisfaction etc) right?
