What I Admire About the Amish Lifestyle

Professor Schlager When people go to visit an Amish community on Sunday and spend a couple of hours with them, they simply love it. But when it comes to the question, whether they could you live happily in a lifestyle like the Amish, almost everyone would say NO. Because our society is based on material and selfishness concepts, they couldn’t live without all the material stuff. But what they don’t know is how great and awesome it is know that you have an entire community out there to support you whenever you need them, and they are not considered just your neighbors but you family. The Amish live a poor but grateful life with no needs for big material goods, but they are still happier than most. The Amish people speak words of wisdom and are the kindest; I admire how the keep their traditions alive, their simplicity and innocence, their whole way of life. Over the centuries America has changed and the society as well but despite all the time that has passed and the changes the Amish still have the same lifestyle had. They have maintained immutable their beliefs and traditions. Their peaceful mood is a reflection of God in their soul; their world is deeply spiritual; their world is God's world. Their top priority is to serve God, followed by their families. The Amish obey the Ordnung, which is a list or written rules that basically outlines all the aspect of Amish life and the basic of their faith families, and is a perfect way to live.
Self-sacrifice is one of the most important beliefs that characterize the Amish people. Comparing this belief to the material-focused and the "me, myself and I first" that controls our culture, the difference is huge, and yet, if people would think about it- if everybody adopted this value, how different life would be for so many. The materialism and selfishness that rules our world is nothing but a dead-end and loneliness. I hold in respect how
