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

well we are all here and all exist as humans or animals in our case humans.... we are put here to show that we can survive ... we show our-selves that we can do it face the world and its pleasures and its spikes... we are here to grow and gain knowledge and to seek what we could no where else... we suffer yes, but its what we are supposed to go through we are supposed to face hardships in life it builds character and makes us stronger and wiser as people... we are here for experience and once we feel we are ready to leave or "time" we die.... sometime though we die during the hardships... its wasnt chosen for us.... we dont die on our own unless its of natural cause when your heart is truly done living its life.... if were killed its the other persons destiny they made the wrong choice it wasn't neccessarly you who did it... life is all about opening the right doors and chosing the right paths... we dont know what through the trees or behind the doors.... we have faith not in "god" or a "spirit" but in our-selves thats were our truth faith and hope lyes not in other but in ourselves....

this is one of the "ultimate questions" in life. the point is to spread the gospel. but you would not know that if you're not christian. i would consider talking to a christian friend or going to church if you want to look deeper into the real answer (which i just stated).

Life has the meaning you want to give it. Life without you or any humans has no meaning at all. so therefor you give any meaning you want to life. you can make it fun, sad, depending on the choices or decisions you make. so give your life the meaning you want base on what you want to do later on in time.
