"تنها کسی که فقط یک طرف ماجرا را می‌داند، چیز زیادی از آن نمی‌داند."

Simplified Meaning:

If someone only understands their own opinion or perspective, they don't fully understand the bigger picture. Imagine a person arguing that their favorite sports team is the best without ever watching other teams play. They might be missing important information that could change their view or at least help them understand why others might think differently. This idea can be applied in many areas of life. If you're in a disagreement or debate, it's important to take the time to listen to what others have to say and try to understand their point of view. You become wiser and more informed by seeing the whole situation, not just your own side. For example, in history, leaders who refused to consider others’ perspectives often made poor decisions, leading to conflicts and problems. On the other hand, those who listened and learned from different views tended to make better choices. In everyday life, if you're working on a group project and only focus on your part, you might miss out on valuable ideas from your teammates. Understanding everyone’s input can lead to better results and more collaboration.
