"もしかしたら私は年老いて疲れているのかもしれませんが、実際に何が起こっているのかを見つける可能性は非常に低いと思うので、世代や世界を通じて専門家の指示を守り、できるだけ少ない害を与えることだけを企むのが唯一の方法です。"

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes it feels like understanding what's really happening in the world is nearly impossible. Imagine trying to fix a very complicated machine without knowing how it works. This can make you feel exhausted and hopeless. In such cases, it's wise to rely on the advice of experts who have more knowledge and experience. For example, when dealing with a medical issue, trusting a doctor's guidance is often better than trying to figure it all out by yourself. Similarly, in life, it's best to follow proven advice to avoid causing harm and make better decisions. This approach helps us manage situations better, even when things seem too difficult to understand.
