I meditated back in high school a couple times and the first time was probably the closest I ever came to becoming a better person. So much came up that I was in tears by the end but it was some beautiful catharsis and I felt like I knew how to be a better person. Then a few days later the high was over and I was back to where I was. Thinking about that now so many years later I can't help but think the monster that has been building in my subconscious for a decade and a half would turn a few tears into a panic attack. Or I just wouldn't be able to go through with it.
