Important things?

I read somewhere "How all of a sudden a stranger has become so important in my life". I am assuming, it was written by someone madly in love or something.. :) But this got me thinking.. how important are 'important things' in our life? Who gives them this kind of importance? I mean, are they even worth it? What place do they hold in our life, that they become so irreplaceable?
