Email: Left vs. right [SD]

[It is] impossible to do both [whatever you set your mind to and allow others to help you] at the same time though, so how does one choose which it will be and when? By not giving up the trivial, easy or totality of tasks (since that would constitute laziness or excessive dependence). For example, a husband may ask for (or accept the offer of) a beverage if his wife is already in the kitchen, but it is probably codependence if the wife feels compelled to run into the kitchen and offer to get the beverage when the husband was already opening the fridge to get it for himself. In other words, what is the simplest means to accomplish a simple task? And isn't being excessively scrupulous -- even if it is about being kind and generous -- a sin -- or at least a dysfunction?
