I ask this same question once in a meditation. The answer came clear as a bell.
It said I have placed you here to learn the true meaning of Love. What ever it was that was answering then told me something that really set me back. It said that I felt the way I did about certain people because I did not understand the true meaning of love. I protested and said that I did my best to love all of the people who were deserving of love.
It replied "yes that is your misunderstanding. You see love as something that you dole out in tiny little portions here and there to people who you have judged to be worthy of it. This is not love at all, it is only judgment". This stopped me dead in my tracks. I suddenly realized that what it was saying to me was true. This realization brought me to tears. It went
on and told me, "You treat love as though there is some shortage of it. It is not something that you can run out of. The more love that you give, the more love that there is in the world. Its that simple. The only way that there can be a shortage of it is if you hoard it and keep it to yourself."
It went on to explain, that "this is what Jesus was trying to tell you when he asked you to turn the other cheek, to judge not and to love your neighbor. He made no exceptions in these things that he requested of you. Why are you making exceptions, and judging some as worthy of love and others as not? Jesus fully intended for you to apply this love that you are to all, in a universal manner without any judgment of any sort". By this time the tears Were flowing freely. I was crying because for the first time in my life I Understood what the message Jesus left for us in the bible actually meant.
This has become my truth. I can't say what yours is for sure, but I have a feeling that it is probably similar.
Love and blessings

Proverbs 2:20-22 the purpose is which you will walk interior the way of good people and that the trails of the righteous ones you may save. For the upright are those which will stay interior the earth,and the harmless are those which would be left over in it. As regards the depraved, they are going to be shrink off from the very earth;and as for the treacherous, they are going to be torn removed from it. Ecclesiastes 12:13, 14 13?the tip of the concern, each thing having been heard, is: concern the real God and save his commandments, for that's the entire criminal accountability of guy. 14?For the real God will decide each deed, which includes each hidden element, to despite if that's good or undesirable.

You know I asked that question to myself, many times, and I never got a satsisfatory answer until I searched for God.
The following summary might help you.
44
Man is by nature and vocation a religious being. Coming from God, going toward God, man lives a fully human life only if he freely lives by his bond with God.
45
Man is made to live in communion with God in whom he finds happiness: "When I am completely united to you, there will be no more sorrow or trials; entirely full of you, my life will be complete" (St. Augustine, Conf. 10, 28, 39: PL 32, 795).
46
When he listens to the message of creation and to the voice of conscience, man can arrive at certainty about the existence of God, the cause and the end of everything.
47
The Church teaches that the one true God, our Creator and Lord, can be known with certainty from his works, by the natural light of human reason (cf. Vatican Council I, can. 2, § 1: DS 3026).
48
We really can name God, starting from the manifold perfections of his creatures, which are likenesses of the infinitely perfect God, even if our limited language cannot exhaust the mystery.
49
"Without the Creator, the creature vanishes" (GS 36). This is the reason why believers know that the love of Christ urges them to bring the light of the living God to those who do not know him or who reject him.
Peace and every b lessing!

To be born full of joy and hope and die without it thereafter. Our only purpose is to be killed by a cold, mocking, uncaring universe and to be torn limb from limb at any moment, tender youth or the sickness of old age. We are despised with a hatred that is more destructive than any human hatred. The stars themselves will roast us all with endless fury. There is no goodness outside of the lies of our imaginations. I curse the day I discovered this ultimate truth and I curse the day I first drew breath upon this world!

The true meaning of life is found in the Holy Bible: "Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry." ...Ecclesiastes 8:15
