Context indeed defines experience. Thus, is there such a thing as a good day or a bad day? or, are days merely subject to definition through experience? Also, keep in mind that, if one perceives a good day, would there not be such a thing as a good day? After all, to conceive the idea of a good day originates from the premise of knowledge that there could be a good day. So, when one thinks one experienced a good day, does the good day not exist because it was created by the mind which perceived it?

I think the answer is rather practical than philosophical, there are bad days yes, that is the day that mistakenly you go out the door with the left foot first, and there are good days, seem to be the majority of days thanks God...

Vedically some days are inauspicious. Any thing started on such days ends in disasters .Apart from that the Vedic almanac also marks the days suitable for different activities. When a work is started on suitable days and suitable time it gives success. Otherwise that may end up in disaster. when ever a space shuttle or a rocket or satellite goes off target are gets involved in a accident or mishap, it has been found to have happened on an inauspicious time. This is what is called as Muhurat in India. Even film producers follow the Muhurat for the first shot but i feel some manipulations are done to fix it on required date and the film flops.

Well, there could be - don't know for sure either way.
Experience shows that some days we get results disproportionately better than expected and the other way round on some other days apparently for no known reason. What is more important is the experience that such incidents repeat on such good or bad days to reinforce our suspicion as though the day itself is either good or bad for us.

Yes of course there are good days & bad days. It's all relative. When I have a bad day (generally any time I have to go in to work!) I'm aware that it isn't necessarily a bad day for everyone (as much as I'd like the world to revolve around me, I'm fairly certain that it doesn't!)
The concept of good & bad days are obviously created by the mind, but usually it's a reactive mind, responding to events that are perceived as bad (work, car breaking down, breaking up with significant other etc etc) or good (meeting the man of your dreams, getting published, winning the lottery...still hoping for that one!) I suppose you might create your day to some degree...if you expect it to be bad or good it may be a self-fulfilling prophecy. So I suppose we should all wake up smiling & say "Today is going to be a great day!" Yeah, ok...Easier said than done! Unfortunate things may happen to us but we still choose how we react to and label it. Maybe there shouldn't be good & bad days, but just "days." We never know what will happen & each one has something to teach us. No matter what, we'll get through it. (Or something like that from one of those self-help books that I read & then fail to implement!)

Some people enjoy that empty stomach (not to be confused with a hungry one !).. and some people suffer the thought of an empty stomach, and rush to fill it up with atleast some junk food and end up adding misery of indigestion !
Similarly, the adventure-seeking persons respond to a tightly packed action filled day as a good day, where as the mentally fatigued ones, seek to look an uneventful, routine, dull day as a good day !
The attitude towards life usually determines what is a good day or a bad one to an individual !

That is a dumb question to ask. Good and Bad are inside a person, it's their feelings. If they percieve something as good or bad, then it is indeed good or bad. your arguement does not make sense. Good and bad are descriptions. Thats how they describe their day. So yes, there is such a thing as a good or bad day.

i think you are over complicating it a bit.
there is no day, or any other measure of a perceived set amount of time for that matter, that is inherently good or bad.
not too mention basing it only off your perception of the day is short sighted as well, its sort of like looking at only the hoof of a cow. there are many other people seeing many other parts of that day so you really can't label it based only off your perception of it and claim it is accurate.

Good and bad days are determined astrologically. Random acts come only from the gods.

some days flow smoothly and peacefully...others are just marred with roadblocks the whole way...every simple thing you try to do is blocked and takes 10 times longer than it should...horrible...

On earth, "seems to" sums it up. It is actually a deep subject.
