Amish Ingenuity

yup. I work with people that helped their community when that nut shot all those school kids in the head. The first thing the Amish families did was go to the shooter's wife and offer her forgiveness and support. The media flipped their lid, they could not comprehend actions like that at all. They asked an amish farmer why he supported the widow. He said 'forgivenss is the key to living. If I was angry at her for what her husband did, all that would do is make me an angry person. What good would that accomplish?'

They not only live a life in harmony with our earth, they have a spiritual side that I feel is more advanced than most of us living disposable lives. Fortunately many are awakening. I'm not to sure how most amish would react to questions about how they exist. Many want nothing to do with 'outsiders'. If times got rough, I bet money they would help all they could though.
