"In order to respond to this question, we need to define what 'important' means. Important for what? In the objective universe, there is nothing that is inherently important; the universe simply exists without assigning importance to things.

From a human perspective, people tend to be narcissistic beings, placing significant value on human life above all else. However, when it comes to other animals, humans often do not assign as much value to them. We consume them, use their skin for clothing, and exploit them in various ways. The importance of animals can vary depending on the cultural context we live in. For example, in some cultures, dogs may be considered more important than in others.

From my perspective, every life is incredibly rare and miraculous. It's easy to overlook the extraordinary nature of life because it's so ubiquitous, originating from the moment chemistry began to exhibit lifelike properties. In response to the question, every single life is indeed important, but some lives may be considered more important than others."
