Stoicism is all about learning to control emotions to the point that emotions no longer trouble one. Buddhism is about getting past the traps of the apparently physical world, including the trap of emotionalism. I think in Neo's cosmology the emotion thing works, but it wouldn't work for everyone, and emotions are only "appropriate" if you define them that way. "Appropriate" is a very human construct, that varies from social group to social group, based on culture.
