It isn't up to you to judge someone's happiness based on their circumstances. And it wouldn't be my place to tell them one way or the other.
But we are never in a position to judge if we are in advance or retreat.
In your examples, it might have taken the loss of limbs to finally grasp the blessings they have.
The ability to walk does not make you happy. Nor does wealth.
Perhaps losing those things can be the "valley of darkness" that leads you to see true joy.
Obviously this is easier said than done.
