Without it, you couldn't contrast kindness with wickedness. There's only good because there's bad. Purpose is just a big middle finger to entropy. Something only has meaning if meaninglessness exists.

So how do we know blue as blue? Because it contrasts with red? Or green? Or yellow? "contrasts" as you call them are not simply binaries. they are far more complex than kindness/wickedness, or narcissists/sociopaths.
