Question 1: How to have a good day? I started the day with a dream, I ended with a mistake.
Question 2: in the title
question3: is this dangerous to forget the past? I see danger in clinging with the past.
Next question: Why should I be helpful to society? Do I deserve to live if I just specualate in stock market, eat, and pay others to make them serve me.

As a Buddhist I will answer your questions according to my religious views, or at least try.

1) This one ties in with the last one, as the day is not a separate "entity" but a continuom of your existence

2) No, nothing is permament because everything is made up of impermanent substance. Although we think like socrates (truth and good is trancendent) Siddartha viewed no permanence in anything, which is why there is not "God"

3) Both are dangerous, but Buddhism emphasizes the middle path, you should not forget, but clinging to something that no longer exists is useless. You must learn from your past, you cant learn from something you dont remember

4) You can answer this by the idea of moral responsability, or by the face that it is in your best interest to generate positive Karma. And yes you deserve to live, every life is precious particularly a human one when we have the best chance for enlightenment. There is always time to learn and change, we cant all live secluded lives like a monk, but we can all become better human beings
