One of the concepts Murdoch discusses in this excerpt, is that there can be no good behavior without the existence of evil. If the world evolved into this world where the only ideals of good moral behavior existed, evil would dissolve. However, if evil dissolves, so too dissolves good. If every man is good, being called good loses its meaning. Can such a world exist, or must there always be some balance struck for comparison. For example, in such a world would there be a distinction between people who are "less good" and "more good", or would such a distinction defeat the entire purpose of attaining such a world?
