“The name of the shop owner is Mr. Mohammad Rafieh who can easily find out the specific pencil required from thousands of pencils.

Mr. Rafieh has loved drawing and the colorful world since he was a child, and he originally worked for a company that manufactured color pencils.

Mr. Rafieh in an interview said, “I imagined how beautiful colors could be created by combining colors, and how wonderful it would be if there were colored pencils that correspond to all the colors produced, and worked hard with love and passion”.

In around 1990, he opened Medad Raffy. Since then he has been handling only colored pencils for 30 years.

He also added ‘ Many children lose interest in the pencil case when one of their favorites is gone. However by giving them the same colored pencils as their favorite. I’m a child. You can prevent our colorful world from being ruined. The passion and smiles of those who see colored pencils here are valuable to me.

One day when Rafieh asked a man who buys cheap colored pencils every week why he bought them, he said ‘I don’t have the money to send my son to a painting class, so I use the colored pencils I bought at Rafieh’s shop. I feel that my son, who inherited my wife’s painting talent, will be an excellent painter, said the man, who painted Mr. Rafieh’s face in less than a minute with a black pencil.

‘I promised the man to continue to provide colored pencils to nurture the art of his children, Rafieh said, ‘Painting is an art that must be recognized and nurtured by others”

The right morning:

«می‌گم ساختار کل فرهنگ معیوبه، می گم دیوان سالاری این حق رو به خودش داده که اسم بعضی از حالات رو بگذاره "بیماری"، تمایل نداشتن به پول خرج کردن تبدیل می‌شه به علامت مرضی که برای درمانش باید داروهای گرون قیمت مصرف کرد، حالا همین دار و لیبیدو رو از بین می‌بره، به عبارت دیگه، میل به تنها لذت مجانی دنیا رو نابود میکنه که همین یعنی آدم باید حتی بیشتر پول خرج کنه برای لذتهای جبرانی، تعریف دقیق "سلامت" روان اینه که توی اقتصاد مصرف گرا مشارکت فعال داشته باشی. وقتی ایده‌ی پول دادن برای درمان شدن رو قبول میکنی، داری به ایده‌ی پول بیشتر خرج کردن تن می‌دی. و دارم می‌گم که من به شخصه الآن، درست توی همین لحظه، دارم توی جنگ با مدرنیته‌ی تجارت محور داروزده‌ی تمامیت‌خواه شکست می‌خورم.»

“I’m saying the structure of the entire culture is flawed,” Chip said. “I’m saying the bureaucracy has arrogated the right to define certain states of mind as ‘diseased.’ A lack of desire to spend money becomes a symptom of disease that requires expensive medication. Which medication then destroys the libido, in other words destroys the appetite for the one pleasure in life that’s free, which means the person has to spend even more money on compensatory pleasures. The very definition of mental ‘health’ is the ability to participate in the consumer economy. When you buy into therapy, you’re buying into buying. And I’m saying that I personally am losing the battle with a commercialized, medicalized, totalitarian modernity right this instant.”
