Be not righteous overmuch

Ecclesiastes Chapter 7
[15]In my vain life I have seen everything; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evil-doing.
[16] Be not righteous overmuch, and do not make yourself overwise; why should you destroy yourself?
[17] Be not wicked overmuch, neither be a fool; why should you die before your time?
[18] It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand; for he who fears God shall come forth from them all.

Where is the line drawn in being righteous overmuch?? I think if there is such a line, I may have crossed it sometimes...

When should I insist that something should/should not be done...
