Would you rather be first..or..last?

Do you feel honoured when someone puts you as 'first line of defence'..ie. you're the first person that comes to mind when tat someone needs help..

Or..

Do you feel honoured when someone puts you as 'last line of defence'..ie. you're the last person tat he/she will approach after exhausting all other means, as he/she has superior faith in you that you will not fail him/her..

**********************
Do you take someone for granted when he/she is the 'first' since..well..he/she is the 'first' to be activated..

Or..

Is it when you put him/her as the 'last'..since it is assumed that this person will definitely, confirmed, guaranteed be able to rescue you..
