I feel as if I don't deserve being happy, because I didn't have to work hard to live in a rich country, have a nice family, not be terminally sick etc... Is it normal?

    You can't take on all the world's problems. Instead of feeling as though you don't deserve happiness, use your position of relative wealth and privilege to make life better for others. Volunteer, give to charity, donate blood -- whatever you have that others need, share it.

    Go ahead and feel happy, but feel grateful and motivated to help others along with it. You deserve it. :)

    Yes, that's normal.

    Either come to accept that you are a selfish bastard, or try giving back in some way. Contribute and you will feel better about yourself.

    :)
