balance passion with core inner peace

Article said that some people get too upset to an unhelpful, unpleasant point about politics, etc. And they need to cultivate that opposite (too) which is true inner peace.

I thought about the times I feel enraged at the Bush war and want to have true inner peace. I realized this is why the Dali Lama can be so stead fast in his goals for Tibet, yet walk out of a failed meeting still smiling. In the end he still has that inner peace he cultivates and holds strong everyday.
