Question: Can you be happy yesterday!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes !.!.!. in an important and interesting way!.

"Yesterday" exists only as a memory in the minds of people, and the story that you construct about your "yesterday" helps to create your present (along with ideas about your future)!.

It is entirely possible to be unhappy during a series of events, and yet look back on those events and feelings a day later and feel good about them!.

For example if you missed a flight, and were angry and disappointed all day about it, but then the next day you found out that the plane crashed and everyone on-board died, you would feel very differently about your anger at missing the flight!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, you can remember being happy or feeling happy yesterday, but you cannot be happy yesterday!. The explanation for the word "yesterday" is a measurement in time, but once the time is up, its gone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
