If you were unfamiliar with evil, and if you only knew good things, then you might be one mindless being living in a reality of ignorant bliss.
 
The fruit of "The tree of the knowledge of good and evil" is what the Bible in Genesis suggests that we all partake of.
 
It is very simple stuff.

I thought God orders Adam and Eve NOT to partake of the tree

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying: 'Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.'

yeah, that is a somewhat easily understood aspect of evil/good- yet it is deeper than that and involves God’s Soveriegn right to judge and our being the clay of the potter, not the arbitrator of what God’s morals should or should not be.
