This is one of the most fundamental questions for the human kind. Although a short and rather simple question, it highlights a crucial gap in our understanding of reality. Since we do not know the purpose of the universe, including the patterns we call humans, or even if there is a purpose to it, or if the universe is deterministic or non-deterministic, we simply do not have the answer to that question. What is lacking is knowledge and understanding. To just "feel" that something is important is not the answer. Individually feeling that something is important, for yourself, or for your community, for your country or whatever, might have been decided already at the Big Bang, if we live in a fully deterministic universe. On the other hand, one could argue that in a fully deterministic universe everything is important, every little change on the most fundamental level is a part of the purpose. But since we do not know and understand those fundamental levels we have no clue to what the purpose might be, or even if there is any. Only with an identification of a larger purpose for the whole universe, including the extremely small part that we humans constitute, is it possible to answer what is truly important and what is not. Whether we will ever be able to answer that question, is questionable. I believe that we will, but the answer will most probably not be something that we would like to hear today. Hopefully, that is why we can not answer it right now...
