From Mic | November 13, 2019

It turns out there's a term for the warm, uplifting high we get from witnessing kindness: moral elevation, according to UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center.

“It is a great good and a great gift, this Greater Good. I bow to you for your efforts to bring these uplifting and illuminating expressions of humanity, grounded in good science, to the attention of us all.”

― Jon Kabat-Zinn, author and founder of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program
