So you're saying that a person from a wealthy family who goes into the priesthood or into a convent and accepts a vow of poverty is necessarily less happy than their sibling who lives on the inherited wealth of their parents.

The person could be wealthy.

He or she chooses to be poor.

He or she must necessarily be less happy.

That is a necessary consequence of your position.

I reject it.
