What is the most important thing in life?
If we ask someone living on the edge of starvation, the answer is food. If we ask someone dying of cold, the answer is warmth. If we put the same question to someone who feels lonely and isolated, the answer will probably be the company of other people.
But there is something else - apart from that - which everyone needs, and that is to figure out who we are and why we are here.

They had learned at school that God created the world. But what about God himself? Had he created himself out of nothing? Even though God could create all kinds of things, he could hardly create himself before he had a “self” to create with. So there was only one possibility left: God always existed. But she had already rejected that possibility! Everything that existed had to have a beginning.
