This man is probably one of the most wholesome people I’ve ever seen interviewed. He did a great service to his community by allowing himself to be filmed and interviewed by Peter. Allowed us outsiders to really see how people in that community live and by what framework they live.

It is not necessarily true that all of the “English” have very stressful lives. You don’t have to be Amish to have a quiet, laidback lifestyle. I object to blanket statements that their life is “better and less stressful” than everyone else who is not Amish.

My dad came out of an amish backround. He studied by oil lamp and attended a one room school house. His dad was the teacher for 1st through 8th grade. So many things he was raised with he taught me and enforced it. ....Being frugal, living from the land what God gives you, working hard and contribution to the family. So many other good things that have helped me in my path through life. Im 66 now he's 91 and takes care of my 87 year old mom. I think it would be great if everyone had the chance to live in a convservative way. The drive to buy, buy, buy goes away. A live for myself and the heck with morals seem to slip away. Everyone benefits from this life,... everyone. Amish or not.....Thanks dad ...💖

I noticed that, too. This is so like the way my father was raised. It makes me smile & remember him & how hard he worked. He was raised Apostolic, which is close to Amish, but yet not quite. To help the family financially, he & most of his brothers(9) were farmed out to neighbors to work & sent the money home. Rough life, hard working people, faith driven, & honest helpful people. His oldest brother was sent to the local rural 1 room schoolhouse. He was sent home with a note. He didn’t know or speak any English. He spoke only German. His folks were so embarrassed. They tried very hard to start speaking only English. They son went on to school thru 8th grade. Then out to farming for neighbors.

I lived in Wisconsin, lots of Amish there. They fixed my antique furniture for little money, always honest. They farm like the old farmers I grew up with in 🇩🇪: have a variety of livestock, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks - horses. Keep cats to take care of the rodents, plant a garden, grow potatoes, wheat, grow grass to feed your livestock and make hay for the winter. Grow fruit trees. These people were not wealthy, but they were never hungry!

Agreed! The dating world alone could use an overhaul, but that's where it begins, right? When we don't respect potential partners or only regard them as objects for pleasure, it's hard to expect much beyond that like an honorable spouse or a healthy relationship. Our country and culture has certainly lost its way. I'm seeing a glimmer of hope lately that more people (myself included) are turning to God for answers.

@harrr53 9 месяцев назад

Well, let's say nowadays they are only able to lead the lives they lead on the back of the achievements of those who don't live like them. If America was a 100% Amish country, it wouldn't be a country because someone else would have rolled the tanks in a long time ago. Or at a smaller level, the generator he uses to charge up those batteries would have never been there if non-Amish people had not developed them. That said, he's a humble and charming man and I don't think he's trying to pretend otherwise or suggesting everyone lives like him. It doesn't come from a place of arrogance or fundamentalism. It's a choice, and a respectable one. I love the charm of the countryside life and there is a lot to be said for living a simpler less stressful life. That his kids spend time reading instead of watching the idiot box, kudos to them.

@01happykat 9 месяцев назад

@@harrr53 I understand your argument, but I don't believe she's suggesting everyone live like the Amish. Rather, she's suggesting that if more of us embraced similar values (family, morality, faith, hard work, frugality, etc.), we'd have a different society. I agree we would. The dating scene alone would change drastically and likely for the better. The general lack of respect people have for one another within it is abhorrent! But, yes, you are correct -- and the Amish acknowledge it. They are able to live with the religious freedom they have here in America because of our history and willingness to fight for freedom. We all benefit from our culture in this way.

@ACL7211 8 месяцев назад

Look up stories about people who have escaped the Amish. They have horrible cases of child sexual abuse. If victims speak out, they get punished more than the abusers for not "forgiving". Just be a good person - you don't need to be religious or have an extreme lifestyle to be a good person.

My whole view and opinion changed about Amish culture. What a simple and beautiful lifestyle they have. They don’t harm anyone they live in their own little clean and independent world. I actually have so much respect for these people. Prejudice, racism, and hatred come from ignorance and misinformation. This video showed me who these people really are. Ivan such a kind and simple man. Very refreshing to see people like him. Peter, today I watched 3 episodes of your channel. I really appreciate your work.

I loved that he was concerned about balancing work with being a dad. He made sure he did his own work to not burden his children beyond their own responsibilities. It was such a beautiful moment because he is teaching his kids the importance of hard work, but not taking advantage of his kids in the process. Our society tells us that if we put any of our responsibilities on our kids, we are hurting them. Are we not also hurting them by not giving them responsibility and accountability to themselves and the family?

Yeah its great, in the days of old a son would learn everything there was to know from his father. Especially with regards to trades i.e blacksmithing, farming.. all fathers should strive to teach their children to be the very best version of themselves.
