You can't have happiness without having sadness. In the same way, you couldn't have things get better if things couldn't get worse. They are two parts of the same coin. So enjoy the moment. Do not let some roadbumps throw you off the road. ;)

You cannot have health without having disease. They are two parts of the same coin.

Edit: You are using the false dilemma wrongly. Here's an example of a false dilemma: "Well, we need to be happy. So, do you want consumerism? Or communism? There's no third option." We can still find ways to be happy in a bad system, whether or not we engage in politics.

Original reply: That's what I'm saying. How would you know the concept of "health" if being unhealthy wasn't a thing? Same thing with happiness.

The False dilemma in this instance is:

to have health, you have to know disease
otherwise you can't have health

This is faulty thinking. Someone can be perfectly healthy while being completely ignorant of disease.

When I am cooking a meal, do I have to be aware that I need to be able to:

smell the food
taste the food
use my hands to cook?

No, I just do these things without having to think of anosmia or possibly having my hands amputated.
