"هرچه بزرگتر می‌شوم بیشتر به این عقیده آشنا که سن خرد می‌آورد بی‌اعتماد می‌شوم"

Simplified Meaning:

As people get older, they often hear that they will become wiser just because of their age. However, the person saying this quote is beginning to doubt that idea. They have noticed that simply getting older does not automatically make someone smart or wise. Think about a person who has been cooking the same dish for their whole life. Even though they have been cooking for many years, it doesn't mean they know how to cook other dishes well or even understand cooking in general. They might be really good at one thing but lack knowledge about other important things. In the same way, just because someone is older doesn't mean they always have the best advice or truly understand every situation. It is important to know that wisdom comes from learning, experiences, and being willing to grow, not just from getting older. So, people should keep learning and open their minds, no matter their age.
