This poll ran from November 19 to 26, 2005.

The quote is from "Transforming Adversity into Joy and Courage: An Explanation of The Thirty-seven Practices of Bodhisattvas" by Geshe Jampa Tegchok, published by Snow Lion Publications. The full quote is as follows: "People like this suffer greatly because they think only of themselves, not of others, and thus they are worthy of compassion, the wish that they be free from suffering and its causes. Being patient when harmed by others does not mean that we take no action to prevent harm from occurring. Rather, patience frees our mind from the fog of anger and gives us the clarity and kindness to respond to a situation in a helpful way. Free of anger, we look for ways to resolve conflict other than seeking revenge."
