In this age of social media, the word sophrosyne should be revived.

I think this is close to the real meaning of "meek" as used in "the meek shall inherit the earth". It's not meekness as we know it but being gentle(manly|womanly).

From your link - "such as temperance, moderation, prudence, purity, decorum, and self-control."
