It's supposed to be about intellectual curiosity. Not questioning other people's life choices and giving unsolicited advice.

It's a little odd to me that you would seem to expect an article and discussion on something subject like "happiness" not to have personal accounts of their subjective experience.

That's not what I said. It's an uncharitable interpretation of what I said.

By all means, people can say what makes them happy!

My point is that we have no grounds for criticizing another person's subjective experience or personal life choices, nor is that desirable as a goal for this website.

Where do you think the OP was being criticizing? I did not see them say anyone was wrong, or making bad decisions. They even made sure to equivocate by saying there's nothing wrong with trying to change one's circumstances.
