Try saying this to a child dying of cancer, undergoing chimiotheraphy,
or to a kid living in a shanty town, making a living looking for scraps of plastic, barefoot in fields of trash.
No, everyday is not a good day....It's kind of an irony, but cancer ridden children, kids living in shanty town, etc tend to have a great degree of inner strenght due to dealing with this enormously challenging situations. Even so, you have to remember that naguals and zen masters tend to live in a fairy land where everything fine and pain and suffering is an anomaly or non-existent. This very vision makes them believe that whatever suffering others have is due to them and self-inflicted.
Nagual and zen adherents tend to EMULATE this attitude without having the inner realization, something that I personally find pathetic, but it's how things roll on this planet.
Truth of the matter is that a day is a day is a day. An opportunity, a possibility. What we make of it, is up to us.
