“One problem with the individualistic view of the first mountain is that it traps people in the small prison of the self. If you go into marriage seeking self-actualization, you will always feel frustrated because marriage and parenting and being part of a family will constantly be dragging you away from the goals focused only on yourself. To be in relationship is a heroic quest in which the ego is sacrificed for the sake of the relationship.“ – David Brooks, “The Second Mountain”
