Thomas Doherty argues that compassion is humanity's highest quality, but fear and anger keep us from it. He credits Transcendental Meditation with restoring his sense of compassion and reconnecting him to what makes us human.
The ultimate thing in humans is compassion. Even the worst, worst of us, I think it's compassion. And I think we're so far away from that because we're all so scared. And I think this anger and this fear and this lashing out and this escapism, it's all just fear. And that's why I'm forever grateful for TM, because it's brought me back my humanity. It's brought me back in touch with my humanity. And from that, compassion flourishes.
