The French Romantic writer Romain Rolland once said, "A clear conscience is a soft pillow."

One should not be overly shrewd, or they will lose friends. Shrewd individuals often dwell on the shortcomings of others, unable to tolerate minor mistakes or differences in personality, demanding that everyone's every move meets their own standards.

If one fails to mediate these conflicts with a spirit of tolerance, the situation will become unmanageable, leading to isolation and the loss of companionship.
