I will add that doing nice things because you want to be perceived as a nice person that does nice things is also a nice thing, even though you are somewhat gratifying your own ego in the process, the net benefit for society, for the world, is a nice thing.

The more nice things you do, the nicer of a person you are.

This also accounts for being good, and being altruistic. The more good you do, the better of a person you are. The more altruism you practice, the more altruistic you are. Even if you are doing them for selfish reasons, what actually matters is the outcome.

Mmm very wise. People feel valued when they are spontaneously treated well by others.

What gets me is a lot of politeness and kind little acts are just efficiency and enjoyable. Myself and my neighbors in a condo get each others mail. No one goes out of their way (mostly. there is an older lady we often will go out since she does not get around so well) they just grab the stuff for neighbors they pass by on their way back to their unit. Holding doors or not closing them after you check if someone is coming back. Just a lot of little things. Why not grab a cart that was not put away near your car as you go into the store rather than waiting to grab a cart once you get to the door. Heck traffic flows better when people use their signal and ease off the gas if someone is merging in front of you.

Hmm not quite wise.

A tweak: Doing nice things when there is no apparent benefit for you is evidence that you're a good person.

i vote nonwise on my own wisdom this time. Tho i find it true, it is very based on a subjective value system. It is also medium depth instead of deep; and not every part is worded eyecatchingly beautifully
