The Amish have been walking away from modernity since arriving in North America hundreds of years ago.
In that time they have changed, but not dramatically.
For the most part, they have:
- no electricity
- no iPhones
- no unnecessary medical procedures
- no computers
- no $70,000 Detroit automobiles
- no fashionable wardrobe
- no nails
- no heavy equipment
- no power tool built barns
- no nightclubs
- no Hollywood movies
- no TV
- no fast food
- no annual resort vacations
And yet, they are still healthy, and still happy.
Miraculously, everything gets done.
Is there anything to learn from these simple living people?
Is there is a lesson here for the "advanced", high consumption peoples of the planet who haven't found happiness in stuff and status?
Go Amish!
Or almost Amish.
Even a little bit Amish would be an improvement.
