So today I realized that it’s mathematically impossible to prove if a day was good or bad. Let me show you how it works
So lets break the day into three parts.
Morning Afternoon Night
Then for each part, we give it an amount of how good it was; the options being Wonderful, Great, Good, Nice, Ok, So-So, Fine, Not so good, Bad and Terrible. That’s from best to worst. So respectively those could be turned into fractions; 10/10, 9/10, 8/10, 7/10, 6/10, 5/10 4/10, 3/10, 2/10, 1/10 in that order.
Morning Afternoon Night
Great Good Terrible
So mathematically
Morning Afternoon Night
Great Good Terrible
9/10 8/10 1/10 =18/30 = 6/10 = Ok day.
So that day should have been ok. Now tell me, what will your friend say if you ask them at the end of the day how it was? Terrible! There is almost no way they are going to say it was an ok day. They will be so caught up in what most recently happened to them, that they will say it was a bad or terrible day. It also works the other way. Watch
Morning Afternoon Night
Terrible Bad Great
1/10 3/10 9/10 =13/30 = 4.3/10 =Fine day
But once again, if you ask them how their day was, they probably won’t say it was fine, they will say “It was GREAT”, because they will be so caught up in the moment, or of what has just happened.
This is how our world is, or usually. We don’t stop to think of all that has happened in our day, just the momentary. Or we don’t even care. People will ask you how your day has been, and it could be terrible all day, and you will say “ok”. Or it could have been wonderful all day, and you will say “ok”. It just goes to show how asking someone how their day has been is never very accurate. Then there are those of us who will only focus on the bad, no matter how much good has been in their day, they will say it’s bad. So really, all I have done, is confused you about life, and proved that we need to really ask people, and listen when we ask how their day has been. What they say often isn’t the full story.

Rightous application of logic. I can never decide what my favorite day of the week is, so I’ll record my score everyday for a month and then I’ll find which day is the best. On second thought that would be difficult for me because I’m not a big fan of keeping records. But if I was to randomly make up numbers in my head I could then determine what my favorite day was in like 2 minutes as opposed to a month. But the accuracy would be significantly lower. This is some crazy stuff. I’ll get back to you on how it goes.
