heroes, tragic

Any perfect one-pillar virtue is also its own tragic flaw, when the virtue is perfect in a human. A perfection of a severe virtue, or a perfection of a merciful one, will either one of them ultimately destroy their holder.

One must have both pillars of the virtue, and seek balance in the middle one in order to avoid tragedy.
