"البته بهتر است که چیزهای بیهوده بدانیم تا هیچ چیز ندانیم."
Simplified meaning
Knowing even small, seemingly unimportant details is more valuable than being completely ignorant. For instance, if you know how to make a simple dish like scrambled eggs, you might think it's trivial. But imagine if you knew nothing about cooking at all; you'd struggle to feed yourself if nobody else was around. Similarly, having some knowledge, no matter how insignificant it might seem, gives you a foundation to build on. It can also help you connect with others in unexpected ways. For example, knowing a fun fact about a rare animal might spark a conversation with a new friend who loves wildlife, helping you form a new relationship. So, even if you think the information isn’t immediately useful, it can still come in handy later on or in different contexts.
