These are the goals of our first mountain. But  at some point in our lives we might find that we're not interested in  what other people tell us to want. We want the things that are truly  worth wanting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the second mountain. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat does it  mean to look beyond yourself and find a moral cause? To forget about  independence and discover dependence - to be utterly enmeshed in a web  of warm relationships? What does it mean to value intimacy, devotion,  responsibility and commitment above individual freedom?
