Stress
The monastic lifestyle may be one of the most stress-free professions found on Earth. Look at the evidence:
- You spend your days praying, reflecting, and helping others.
- Your healthcare, daily expenses, and meals are provided for.
- You never have to worry about a mortgage, loans, or children.
- For the really stressful times, there are always crossword puzzles.
Withdrawing from mainstream society also means you withdraw from most of mainstream society's stresses. Of course, there are going to be times when the world around you feels too big (happens to everybody), but your low-impact lifestyle will help you deal with it far better than some overanxious banker who has the same meltdown on his way to work every morning.
Also, because you won't be dating anytime soon, you're free from the stresses of awkward relationships. Wait, where's everybody going?
