What exactly are you afraid of when it comes to feeling joy? Why would another have to suffer or be in pain? Inevitably people are going to be in pain and suffering. We can set our intentions and be mindful of not harming others.
Your fears and thoughts of “I deserve to not be happy” are what is keeping you down, as you have discerned. Surely we deserve (I don’t like using that word but technically it’s appropriate) the pain and suffering that comes to us. We also deserve the joy and happiness that comes to us. Sit with your fears, examine them, experience them mentally.
I don’t know your heart or mind so I can’t speak specifically to your blockage, but I can say that you don’t have to block yourself from moments of joy and happiness. Allow yourself to express your heart freely and openly! Go a little at a time if that’s what feels safest to you. You may discover that there is another way.
This is the stuff of life! It’s why we incarnated. You are a beautiful soul. Rejoice and be happy my friend! You deserve happiness and joy and Love and Light.
