Emotions are a large part of what makes us human, but sometimes being human isn't always to your advantage. Emotions make you easy to read, easy to take advantage of, and ultimately, easy to dispose of.
Understanding and being able to control your emotions make it easier to portray the image you want to portray, and make people think what you want them to think. If your face is a mask and your body a costume that you can change at will to fit what you want other people to believe, it is amazing how much easier life becomes, and how much more you can get out of any situation.
Adaptation means taking a weakness and turning it into an advantage, and adapting is something humans are supposed to be quite good at.
