I came to Goettingen with an intention to attend a short course on M Estimation. I came to the lecture room and knocked the door..apparently I was late for the class.. to my utter surprise I found that no one was opening the door.. and it was locked.. I went to the professor's room just to be told that the gentleman who was supposed to lecture had an accident the day before and hence the course was cancelled..
Goettingen was much colder this time.. i can even see the cold wind blowing.. i didnot meet anybody in Goettingen..not even my professor.. I am sitting on the platform number 8 of goettingen railway station as I write this..
There are two ways of living in this world when it comes to the way we perceive things around us..one which makes us see the bright things of life ... the other makes us see those things that are wrong and not so comfortable truths that people experience in life.. one leads to optimism and the other to pessimism and every human unconciously chooses his way of perception..
Our perception of life appears to be the most honest opinion of life that any human can have in this world.. we are justified when we cry and when we laugh.. both co-exist to make an elixir of this life that we are a part of..
Is the world a mere perception of our cognitive faculties, is it a illusory construct of our thought or is there a realistic basis for it? Does the world cease to exist when we cease to exist(for us)?
