What is the most important thing in life?

Answer 1

To mkae your own authentic meaning and be satisfied with it.

Answer 2

Love. I'd say more but I don't think I need to. When it's with the right person it's just so much more than the most important thing in life.

Answer 3

Your "pursuit of happiness", as quoted from our own U.S. Constitution can mean a variety of things to different people. Whether that "pursuit" i.e. goal is financial, emotional, or even knowledgable if a personal choice. God gave us agency to choose right from wrong, and not the right to judge. Our constitutional forefathers realized this very important facet of life, even in the 18th century. But it doesn't make the right answer any more obvious. So it all comes down to choice and/or priority. I think the answer to the question is going to vary as much as difference of taste in people today. With me personally, the most important thing in life is knowledge. The ability to learn is a God given talent that most species have and use on a daily basis. With it, anything else concerning life can be achieved. Remember, if your Mom/Dad hadn't taught you how to communicate first, you wouldn't have the ability/curiosity to find and/or learn the answer to this question in the first place.

Answer 4

The most important thing in life is to know that you lived...

Answer 5

The most important thing in life is to try to understand this world and what it all means. For what other reason would it be without understanding and meaning? And what else can you do but try?

Answer 6

KNOWING who-- and what-- you are.
(Don't look through your wallet to find the answer. ;-)

Look at a few facts that are taken for granted, but deserve to be examined carefully: You are a "creature" with a "mind" that is "self-conscious" in a "body"; you are "alive"; you are on a "planet" that orbits a typical "star" at nearly 559,232 m.p.h.; this star is one of countless stars in an incomprehesibly vast "universe," characterized by sequential "time" and conditioned by nearly infinite "space."

Hopefully, you are developing a "philosophy" that helps you make "sense" of all these amazing things. As you know, other "minds" argue endlessly about what all these circumstances mean, often becoming polarized around two points of view: a religious, or theistic view, or a material, or atheistic view.

Your mission then, is to use "free will" to determine the "truth" of these matters. The more truth you know, the more truth you ARE.

Once you've done that to your satisfaction, you can begin to apply your personal "energy" by sharing your discoveries with others; discovering the more you know about others, the more you can learn to "love" them. And many are fortunate indeed to come to recognize that love is the greatest reality of all; God IS love.

It sounds like a difficult voyage, I know; full of adventure and uncertainty. But if there's one piece of advice that's always been helpful, it's this: Do your very best each day to discover, and live, truth, beauty, and goodness. You'll never regret it.

Answer 8

Life is more important than anything else. Hence life itself is the most important thing in life.

Answer 9

to me the most important thing in life is to treat people the way you would want to be treated.

Answer 10

Not to ponder about the question but get around to realizing it in one's life. The most important thing in life is to become what you have the potential to become, to be active and not passive, to become and not to stagnate thinking about what becoming means.

Answer 11

The answer to that question is relative. Each being on earth has its own values and norms. That's why everyone has a different thing that he or she values the most. For one money is most worth, for another love or family. There is no universal answer to that question.
