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 if honestly & 4m the core of ur heart u intend to find the answer then it could change ur life n perception (as it has changed mine) Life is urs n so is this quest, U have 2 discover the answer urself n shall certainly find it by the power of will caus "where there is a will there is a way.."To help u begin: Look at urself "Are u exactly the person u seek urself to be emotionally socially intellectually..". Now Do u think u have discovered all the facts about life, people n universe that u always were enthusiastic about, Do u feel u have been thru all the rides of human realisations that wud carve u as a TRUE indvidual(or rather True Human)! IF u think u r perfectly contended to the deepest level then u probably wudnt be here.
Wish u lots of luk in ur "quest of self" Hope u discover the answer soon...Till then keep thinking!!

The question may seem unanswerable at first.
WE are the product of a universe that some way developed they capacity to become aware of itself.
Without you and all the other humans and aliens in the universe to act as it's eyes and ears it would be a blind unknowing entity that would come into existence,run it's course and die.
So you can see how important you are.

You are here to show the "reflection" of what is in the heavens ( The displaying of God ). A lot of people lately have been asking the same question......

Ask your Mum and Dad.
Don't go running away with the idea that there is some higher purpose in life.
