Appreciation of valuable veteran artists favored by the Islamic Republic of Mashhad

Often, people don’t recognize culture’s existence and cannot describe what theirs is any more than a fish (if they could talk) could tell you what water is, but it is a major driver of behavior. As a result, any attempt to appreciate others will hit roadblocks. That’s because culture is like the oxygen we breathe: If the atmosphere is one of fear, mistrust or toxic competition, it will be hard to add value to others without cleaning up the air. If the attention is on what is wrong or broken, appreciation is more difficult. But if the focus is on looking for the best in others, then appreciation is encouraged.
