(self/un) fulfilling

I'm not sure I would have bought into it before, but it becomes more and more clear here that if you spend long enough treating someone as though they are a certain way, they will eventually become that way. In an Elphaba No-good-deed kind of way, I don't think I even consider it a character flaw to succumb to this, so much as an un-salmon-like acknowledgment of the frustration caused by the amount of effort necessary to fight it exceeding the reward. Especially in a place that seems efficient at (perhaps only) one thing: removing incentives.
