as anagogy said, it's a kind of coherency.
it's much more effective to shift the debate from good/evil to positive/negative as that re-instates the sovereignty of choice. Good/evil tends to have a 'finality' about it; whereas positive/negative is an ongoing elaboration of experience.
it's also much for effective for integration to consider one's response to other's 'negativity', and see what it says about one's own past choices, rather than holding the other person as being separate and external.
It's through that, that the boundary between self and other-self dissolve, and thus there is no resistance.
If you can 'accept' the choice for negativity, there's no need to experience it's consequences. Their actions will just pass right through you.
There's no need for 'protection', in that sense.

Ra on the 'genie' in the top left (with the bow and arrow)
"We now speak of that genie, or elemental, or mythic figure, culturally determined, which sends the arrow to the left-hand transformation.
This arrow is not the arrow which kills but rather that which, in its own way, protects. Those who choose separation, that being the quality most indicative of the left-hand path, are protected from other-selves by a strength and sharpness equivalent to the degree of transformation which the mind has experienced in the negative sense.
Those upon the right-hand path have no such protection against other-selves for upon that path the doughty seeker shall find many mirrors for reflection in each other-self it encounters."
