Someone wrote:This guy is going parachuting, and he asks the instructor what to do if the parachute fails.
"Pull the reserve chute."
He then asks the instructor what to do if the reserve chute fails.
"Put your hands together in prayer, and say "Please, Allah, help me!"."
So and so, he jumped from the plane, pulled the string, and the main chute fails. He pulls the reserve chute, and that fails to do anything as well. So, he does as he was told, and says "Please, Allah, help me!". As soon as these words are said, a giant hand comes down from the sky and lifts him to safety. As a result of this amazing turn of events, he then says "Oh thank god for that!", and as soon as those words were said, a giant foot comes down from the sky, squashing him flat.
The most important thing in your life right now!

Yes, do not mock Allah, or this might happen:

You might also want to take this into consideration:
Maslow's hierarchy of needs. At the bottom, you see the basic necessities to be happy, and at the top, you see what you can eventually have. Basically, If you have no food, water or air, then you really wouldn't be giving a flying f*** about your girlfriend...

I'd say what is most important to me right now is my sanity. I'm kinda losing it lately. Not in the thinking there's voices talking to me way, because that's bullshit..
Wait a minute, what the fuck is the point? LOL
Also it is debatable that friends and family come before self-esteem in preference. I'd say confidence in yourself is more important than anyone else. That's just me, but with me I come first and everyone else comes second, except in certain circumstances.

I honestly have tiny little voices in my head that can't stop talking.
They don't keep telling me to burn things or kill myself though, they just make fun of everything they can.
Anyway. I would also say my sanity, because I'm actually afraid of completely loosing it, could you imagine being insane? You could be happy all the time, but on the other hand, you could be in a big foamy room screaming, "THE SPIDERS!!".
I honestly can't imagine me insane. I can imagine me pretending to be insane, but real insanity? Impossible.

It's motivation theory's need hierarchy theory. The question Maslow tries to answer is what drives you under which circumstances in a world defined by your needs. You're wanting to get stuff that belongs to upper parts of the pyramid only if needs belonging to lower parts of the pyramid are met. You're not going to buy a PlayStation 3 if you've got nothing to eat. Your motivation of getting food will be higher than the motivation to get your GT5 fix.
Maslow's pyramid is flawed in many ways, at least in terms of motivational psychology. But it gets a point across.
