Jesus uses fishermen imagery to illustrate his point: As with the dragnet that brings in both good and bad fish, so in our world, the good live alongside the bad. ( Mt 13:47-53). Just a look at the headlines or a TV news broadcast, we see that things haven't changed. So too the conclusion that Jesus gives us: we will live among all sorts of "weeds", and only in God's time will they be sorted out. We try to deal with them as best we can, and above all, try not to abandon our ideals, which means at least SOME tension in our lives between good and evil. What does Jesus expect of us, after all he has given us? No big secret, to pursue the good as best we can. May we not disappoint him.
