What is the MOST IMPORTANT thing in your life?

I was watching National Geography Documentary interviewing an American who was kidnapped and almost executed if not for the Kidnappers' Translator's quick move to save his life.  The American was desperate and tried to befriend the Translator by asking him, " What is the most important thing in your life?"
The Translator answered," My children."
" Do they know what you have been doing?" The American asked
The Translator stared at him and walked away.
The day the Translator unlocked his padlock and showed him the escape route, the American asked, " Why? Why do you risk your life and family to save me? "
He replied, " Because we are all brothers under the same GOD."

The American later recalled and admitted to himself that he wasn't sure if he would do the same thing if he were in his position.......
