This morning, I happened on some thoughts I jotted down several years ago. I am sharing them in case they might be relevant and helpful to others.

This concept has to do with opposites. A couple Biblical examples are brought to mind:

Matthew 6:24 – No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.

Matthew 25:32 – All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

Also, God sometimes escalates the conditions of what is good to become better. The word I “heard” from Him is ameliorate. He is also escalating the conditions of what is bad to become worse. He gave the word exacerbate.
