What's an example decision that is better to make if polarized?

What is a decision that would "cancel" each other out be?

And this yo-yo of giving but then pulling back? What's an example? Like ok I'll cook diner for everybody - oh no that's too much giving. I'll just cook for myself. Is that something that would allways be one or the other if polarized?

DW - I'll always just cook enough for me.
LW - I'll always cook for everybody.

Oh my, what a can of worms. people will say - the DW would cook for everybody out of wanting something from them. so then how does sticking with DW help this decicsion? The DW would have to figure out to cook for self or also for others, and filter that through whats' in it for me.
