They do say that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Sam and Dean (and Mary and John and even Samuel for Mary) making supernatural deals to save the others has only had bad results, for the world and for the ones they were trying to save. Mary saved John and John ended up a bitter, lonely paranoid hunter. Sam saved John and John sold his soul to save Dean. Dean sold his soul to save Sam and Sam ended up alone, desperate and vulnerable to Ruby.
Arguably when Sam chose the world over Dean it worked, at least until Cas decided to put Dean ahead of the world by saving Sam for him. For all Cas has called Sam his friend, I still think he did it for Dean. Then Dean saves Sam by bringing his soul out of the Cage and Sam ends up insane and hallucinating 24/7.
It's time for them to break this pattern. I just hope that this is the way the writers are heading.
