Stoics believed that one should not be too sad or too happy. In Christianity, this is shown in The Bible, when David is full of himself while watching a woman bathe. It is believed that pride is a deadly sin and so being stoic keeps you from being too vain or to proud. Also, being depressed and committing suicide is another deadly sin.
