If the water is too clean, there will be no fish in it

There is an old saying: "水至清則無魚，人至察則無徒。"
It means that if the water is too clean, there will be no fish in it; if a person is too smart, he will have no friends.
When dealing with others, you must tolerate other people's shortcomings and "be strict with yourself and be lenient with others."
If you look at others with a mentality that cannot tolerate sand in your eyes, then everyone will have problems. As friends, they cannot be associated with each other; as subordinates, they cannot be appointed. In the end, only you will be left alone.
