that, say, a mother has for their child, that sense of connection that a mother has for their child is the same sense of love and connection and unconditional love that we're trying to achieve with the people in our life, the people in our direct life, our spouses, our children, our neighbors, but even the people that you have difficulties with as well.

So I think we're really at a point in our lives where that sort of moral beauty is essential to our humanity to survive, right? Because that human connection without it, we're setting up walls and creating polarization between our worldviews that don't allow us to resonate with the most fundamental aspect of being human, which is social connection.

So I think the mindful practices that are very trendy, that are leading to the best evidence for health outcomes are also deeply rooted in this sense of cultivating moral beauty and pro-social behaviors. And that's where I think altruistic motives to help others instead of just ourselves start to emerge. So we're more likely to feel that connection with others when we do these practices.

And there's just much more sense of true happiness when we help others and we see it in ourselves when we do these kinds of actions, even just putting a tip in the tip jar. In the beginning, it's really self-serving because you want someone to see you do it.

But when you see just the reaction of somebody who may receive your blessing or a tip from the tip jar and how it makes them feel, that's where the genuine level of transcendence actually happens. And it's that moral beauty I think that Docker is talking about that taps into that.
