Do we need bad to define good?

It started with the philosophical question; if a fairy came to you and said that it’ll solve every problem in the world if he could torture a four year old girl for the rest of her life, would you say yes?
I would have said no, but not in compassion for the girl. Because I believe we need bad to define good. Like who knows if torturing a little girl is nothing compared to hypotetical problems we can’t imagine.
It all comes down to what you consider a problem. Is the fact that we need oxygen to breath a problem? No? Well, it might be the worst thing in the world, this dependance, if all things you consider problems now were resolved.
