Of course Ms Garrett tells her she has a right to do that, and she it is a "calling" and it is about "faith"
Uggggggg...... That was one episode I had to turn off.
Yeah, that one was a weird one.
On the one hand, the sister had every right to choose the convent.
On the other, Blair had every right to be pissed off. She's, in a lot of ways (the ways Blair cares most) losing her sister.
Waving that away with fluffy words like 'faith' and 'calling' doesn't really address the issue.
Blair herself as the character was a believer too, not really what the Character's problem was with her sister becoming a nun. Blair was all about being in the wealthy class, that was her main objection not religion itself. She was upset with her sister giving all the wealth up.Just as much worship to me, one about class the other about "faith", both just as absurd to blindly cling to.
I'd only agree as far as her sister goes and even in reality, yea if you want to waste your life selling nonsense, there are no laws preventing that in the west. So to me both were right from a legal standpoint, but both also wrong from a logical standpoint.
