Not âchanges your characterâ butâratherâreveals character; itâs called an âaskâ because the call to sacrifice is both general and (per the individualâs sacrifice) personalâand it serves many functions (as mentioned).
In any case, one of the other replies (from â@Ben Auerâ) mentioned that âValue drift is not about losing sight of whetheryour actions are effective, but losing the motivation to care about whether your actions are effective.â; in other words, what is being called a âsacrifice portfolioâ isâin truthâeffort (i.e. not a portfolio of sacrifices but a set of willful conscious actions, often at abstaining from a mentality as much as a behavior). One can argue the merits, but there is nothing compulsory thereaboutsâwhich is why people undertake such effort voluntarily, sometimes take a break, and often return after a break (gamification & a high score isnât the ultimate goal).
