The Primary, and Fundamental Thesis.........

................. of the Ostaf N. Reevers' Philosophy of Life. I submit to you this, "Everyone wants to be the ruler in his own kingdom". The operative word in this thesis is "own". The human mind has quite a proclivity for imposing a possessive and controlling effect on at least something which seems to be within the range of it's influence. That said, one is only left to determine the size and nature of that kingdom. For many, it may be quite small. It may be a place, nothing more than their workshop, or kitchen, or even a garden. It may take the form of an environment; work, school, a committee, a club or similar organization. It might even be reduced to a relationship, with as few as one or two other associates or friends. Unfortunately, it also may be large, quite large. Examples abound of those who would dare contemplate dominance of this entire planet and all its resources and inhabitants. Whatever the kingdom, regardless of it's size and nature, everything within that realm is fair game for the desires of it's "ruler".

I'm Ostaf


Hello. I'm Ostaf N. Reevers. My friends just call me Ostaf N. Reevers. Don't worry, at some point you'll understand the difference. You may even smile. I am involved in a lifelong endeavor to administer self therapy, but I guess all of us really are doing that, aren't we. This blog is evidence of that endeavor. If anything here enlightens, enriches, educates, amuses, irritates, or enrages( or any other of a huge number of stimulating verbs) you, well, i suppose that is a bonus, for you, or me, or both of us. Over the years, I have conveyed, one profundity at a time, my philosophy of life, to anyone unfortunate enough to be trapped in my presence while I'm ranting. As best I can recall, I will relate those bits of wisdom, or stupidity, or something in between, one posting at a time. To paraphrase Uncle Albert, "Only two things are infinite, the universe, and the stupidity of mankind. I'm not sure about the universe." It is to him, I dedicate this blog.
