No, it isn't. Think about monks and so on. Some people live properly modest lives, not hedonistic ones.

I guess you can convince to want something totally different like bliss, moksha or whatever but the basic instinct to want is still there . Not sure why that particular form is more desirable. I know some personally and they constantly struggle with wanting that not being able to achieve.
