If someone frowns at you, it tends to bring out the more negative emotions in you.

When it comes to the whole movement thing. That's just people jumping on the bandwagon. And on top of that it's hard not to be a romantic when the romantic ideology and artwork is all you have access to.

As for whether the day good or bad depending on perception or just random. That's really not a good question. Perception is fundamentally connected to what happened. It isn't a choice between the two.

Although actually, I suppose you could say that certain people will much more often look back and say "I had a good day". But they don't have any more good days than anyone else. If you have a good day most of the time then you aren't actually having a good day at all. In reality, you're just having a normal day and labeling it that way.
