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.
