"دین ما برای از بین بردن رذایل ساخته شده است در عوض آنها را تشویق می کند می پوشاند و پرورش می دهد"

Michel de Montaigne

Simplified Meaning:

This quote is talking about how religion, which is supposed to help people become better and avoid bad behavior, sometimes ends up doing the opposite. Instead of stopping people from acting badly, it can sometimes make things worse by hiding bad actions or even encouraging them. For example, if a religious leader does something wrong but the community ignores it or makes excuses because he is a leader, this can encourage others to do bad things too, thinking that they can get away with it. The main idea is that sometimes, instead of fixing problems, religion might accidentally help them grow. To apply this to your own life, it's important to stay true to the core values of your beliefs and not let rules or leaders distract you from what is right. Always question and think for yourself about what is good and what is bad, rather than blindly following someone just because they are in a position of authority.
