I agree with what Sukitlek is telling here. Emotions are not to be erradicated. Are to be observed so to be a wittness of them and not to be a prissioner of them. In that way we can master them so to use them wisely... Here I can take equanimity as that wise way of mastering them.

Again, in my tradition we understand this through the 10 Bulls doctrine that is a very Zen way of understanding this.
