What are your views on Muslims fasting for one month in the Ramadan?

I think it's quite amazing how something can transform the behaviour of a whole population of people. for one month of the year I witness even the least practising muslims become better human beings. More generous,calm, forgiving, conscientious, well spoken, etc. (And thats the least practising muslims ive met). If only they were like this the whole year round.
This is a healthy practise on the physical level and (as with all laws from God) is there to prevent a harm done to someone or something OR better human character in some way. I think this is the latter. Teaching people multiple things like self restraint, discipline, generosity, empathy, etc
