Is it normal not to be happy because others aren't?

I feel I can't be happy unless others are. And I am not only talking about people I know, but also people I don't even know, people that live around the world that I know live a crappier life than me. If I begin to feel joyful about anything I start to think about all the sadness and injustice in this world and at that moment my sense of happiness goes away. Sometimes I even feel I don't deserve things I have or deserve to enjoy things simply because I know other people don't have it or don't even have the opportunity to enjoy some of those things. I consider myself a very nice person and I wish that all bad things could vanish from this world so everyone could live a happy, peaceful life, but in the end I realize that it's not reality and I hate that fact. Am I caring too much? Should I be feeling this way?

Is It Normal?

    I understand how you feel. I'm also a kind person who often feels this way, albeit to a lesser degree than you. As difficult as it is, you must learn to accept that not everyone will be happy or have a wonderful life, but you should be thankful for the gifts God gives you. He wants you to be happy, and He will have mercy upon whom He will have mercy. Just remember to always help those in need when you find an opportunity to do so. :)
