Kindness Or Naivety

I was sat watching the world go by, when I noticed a man begin to cry, I asked this man, what’s up my friend? He replied kind sir do you have any money to lend? I asked him how much would he like to borrow ? He said anything please sir, so I can end this sorrow, I believed from my judgment this man was hurt, his eyes where sunk and his skin doused in dirt. So I drew out my wallet and passed him a few pound, with tears streaming he dropped to the ground, Thankyou kind sir he said grasping my hand, you made me the happiest man in all of the land, No problem I said as he let me be, then for a moment I wondered, was this a random act of kindness, or my own naivety.
