I belive that's where the individuals are driven by self-actualization, to be compassionate towards the other humans. When a person is at or near self-actualization the person would suffer less, relizes the situations better, happy about himself, and compassionate towards the world.
Maslow believed that people should be able to move through the needs to the highest level provided they are given an education that promotes growth. Some of the changes in the educational process that Maslow espoused:
People should -
Be authentic.
Transcend their cultural conditioning and become world citizens.
Find their vocation and right mate.
Know that life is precious.
Be good and joyous in all kinds of situations.
Learn from their inner nature.
See that basic needs are satisfied.
Refreshen their consciousness, appreciate beauty and other good things in life.
Understand that controls are good, and complete abandon is bad.
Transcend trifling problems
Grapple with serious problems such as injustice, pain suffering and death
Be good choosers.
Be given practice in making choices of goodies, then making choices in their religious beliefs.
