Saw a woman at a Denver bus stop give her last $2 to a guy who dropped his fare, now I can't stop wondering if small kindnesses are always smart

There's a study from Harvard I heard about on a podcast, they found that people who do small acts of kindness actually feel happier themselves, like it gives the giver a boost too. The researcher said it's less about whether the kind act is "smart" and more about how it makes both people feel seen. So maybe the question isn't if it's smart, but whether it's worth it to the person doing it. That woman probably knew she was taking a risk and did it anyway, which says something about her.
