Answer 4

One is the only person that one can truly attempt to change.  One is the only person that one can make happy.  I am the only person that I can always understand to every extent, and that makes me the most important person in the universe to me.  I can make myself, and no one else, happy.  I can change myself, and no one else.  I can fulfill my wants, wishes, and desires, but I can only guess at those of anyone else.  One is the most important person in the universe.

Answer 5

ones relationship with oneself is totally honest and pure in the sense that you cant lie to yourself. you and only you know exactly who you are and what you feel and think every second of your existence.

Answer 6

I don't think it is important to be the most important person in the universe... However, I think it is important to FEEL like you are the most important person in the universe.  If you do not truly feel like this about yourself, who will feel this about you?  

And true - when in a relationship, you should make the person you are with feel like they are the most important person in YOUR universe! And if you can make them feel like this... watch out! They will be crazy about you!

oneself is important not only because they are the only ones they can control and the other stuf people said but because others rely on them and care about them even if they dont themselves;

your right its not egotistical, and its more complex than it seems; cool

Answer 15

We just have an instinctive arrogance about ourselves.  You can probably see the same thing in most living organisms by virtue of their very will to survive and reproduce no matter of the circumstances.  When man was less populous and in a more primitive state, this arrogance probably helped us survive.  But, nowadays, I think it's hurting modern man and holding us back from living in a more advanced and equitable society.

Answer 16

As the universe and the person is one being, the reason that oneself is the most important person is the contribution you make to the living universe, no-one else can make your contribution, so no-one else can assist the universal being travel in the direction that you can.

The reason this is important is that evolution depends on us all, we as a person dissapear but as our energy is absorbed into the universe we still influence the direction in which the universe proceeds and therefore its final destination.

Answer 17

Agreeing with rman....One's gotta be the most important person in their universe.  Survival tactic maybe...take care of yourself and then you'll be able to take care of whatever else easy.

Answer 21

Answer 22

I saw this in my hour of suffering a few years ago.  Someone wrote my sentiments about the one I loved.

To all the world she was just one person.  But to me she was all the world.

Answer 23

Well from any one specific persons perspective in all honesty they are the most important person in their universe. I'm the most important person in my universe and you in yours.  

Answer 24

There is only one person in the world. We are that person in its glory. We are not our bodies.

Answer 25

The question is not, 'makes oneself feel' but 'makes oneself the most important person in the universe', and also,the meaning would be another if you mean 'one' not ''oneself'.

Of the three, only the first would deserve an answer,any answer,for it corresponds to the reality of feeling  inside man.The other two cannot even be egotistical since they correspond to no reality.

  

Answer 26

It is your service for the survival of humanity.

Others make you feel important because they need your service. You are useful to others. It is the service and usefulness to others makes you to feel that your are most important in the Universe.

Answer 27

Humanity is the only thing which is important for humans, be kind and be patient.

Answer 28

I think it is all about perception.  As egotistical as it sounds, most people, with the exception of a few by percentage view the world from their point of view.  Doesn't this then make oneself the most important person in the universe? Why not see it from anothers point of view first?  I am not suggesting that most of us never see things from another's point of view, but it seems to be natural to be from our own first.  Simple answer as to why is perception.  Life is about perception, and sometimes the easiest way to begin to perceive things is from your own point of view first

Answer 29

I'm not the most important person in the universe.

I'm the most important person in the universe to ME.

My Mind/Self is a control system evolved to the task of my survival.   Specifically the collection of energy for the purpose of procreation.

What makes me the most important person in the universe to me is the tautology that to persist, life must pursue self interest.

Answer 30

Tough question!! Ego is the most obvious answer, but the issue remains why ego is so inevitable.

I believe that it is because our conscious creates self as the sole subject and all the rest as the objects. It is inherently a perspective that rests within the self and views everything else from that platform. Any cognizance or awareness experienced by the self as the subject therefore is dependent on the conscious grounded on the solid reality of self...... if this reality is demeaned, then entire awareness gets nullified and meaningless. A philosophical extreme of this is the obvious reality that if self is negated, then there is nothing existent at all. Thus the existence of everything is dependent on the reality of the viewing self and that implies that the most important reality is self without which there can be no other reality to be experienced by our conscious. This realization is what gives rise to the ego.

Answer 31

The DIY man has walked out half way, the garden resembles a jungle war zone, the half decorated bedrooms are in disarray, the dilapidated kitchen is estimated to cost me three times the price originally quoted, the garden is awash with raw sewage from a blocked drain, I am heading towards insolvency, what would I know of being the LEAST most considered person of any importance in the entire universe. The vagrants are more attended than I. The whores witness with barely disguised glee whilst the pigs are going in for the kill, a slow tortured, tormented route to inevitable death ... The torment maintains the bitterness to further augment the prostitute steve’s formidable world power and standing, glows brighter the more humanity and I bleed ... Gosh how important do we feel ... h**l goes on and on and on ....
