鹿しかを追おう者ものは山やまを見みず

expression

zeal blinds one to the bigger picture

Proverb warning that single-minded pursuit of a goal can make one overlook dangers or the broader situation. Literally: 'The one who chases a deer does not see the mountain.'

• 利り益えきばかり追おいかけて、会かい社しゃの評ひょう判ばんを落おとすとは、まさに鹿しかを追おう者ものは山やまを見みずだ。

  Chasing only profits and ruining the company's reputation is a perfect example of zeal being a bad servant.
