He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who inquires of evil, it will come to him. ~ Prov. 11:27 (LEB) 

~ Seeking the good requires diligence and effort in a fallen world and there is NO guarantee that you will get it.

~ Seeking evil requires only a mere inquiry and it will come to you in a gold platter. In fact, you do not even need to inquire. In a fallen world, it quite often arrives, uninvited, at the speed of already. 

Look, if the world will give me enough negativity without the asking (e.g. covid did not knock), then why take it on when it knocks – when it asks?

Sometimes you also have to diligently avoid evil. Avoid negativity. Avoid unnecessary toxicity.
