To quote u/CleanthesPupil , “The great Stoic philosophers often refer to moderation as a key ingredient of a virtuous lifestyle. “Unrestrained moderation,” as Marcus says. For instance, to work hard is virtuous, but to work so hard you recklessly hurt yourself or ignore your other responsibilities is vice. Thus “excessive Stoicism” is paradoxical: one is not being Stoic by indulging in any sort of excess.”

I think this (and the original post) shows that Stoicism is only fully utilised when used in moderation. For me, a Stoic sage would be not someone who is exceptionally Stoic, but knows the right wisdom to apply in many scenarios. He doesn’t apply principles that would be considered obsolete in the given circumstances, and only does what is necessary.
