The Best of Both Cultures: Amish Vs Non-amish
No matter how much I thought I knew what I was doing or I knew how to live in the unsheltered world........I certainly had lots to learn.
When a person grows up in a sheltered environment like the Amish, you have lots to learn no matter how old you are when you leave. Of course, my childhood was not to prepare me to live in the unsheltered world but rather purposely so I don't know how to survive in the unsheltered world.
Here are just a couple of the hard lessons I had to learn to survive:
Completely naive
No money smarts at all (didn't know how to handle money wisely)
Too trusting of people
Did not care for myself
Can you imagine your own child going out into the world with the things I listed above?
It gives me the shivers to think of my own children leaving high school without any of the knowledge that is needed to survive.
Of course, I am doing everything I can to make sure children get the knowledge and experience they will need.
But I also realize how much of the simple life (unsheltered life) I still use today and I know I am living "The Best of Both Cultures". You will be hearing a lot more about this in the coming months, but let me give you an example.
Background noises: At home we had very little background noises. Other than peoples voices there was very little noise. Check out my comparison chart below:
Non Amish vs Amish
Radio vs not
TV vs not
traffic (in town or highway) vs not (we lived in the country)
noisy children toys vs not (we did not have any toys that made noises)
Bicycle or scooter vs not (we only had a little red wagon)
Kitchen Appliances vs not (no electricity)
Power tools vs not
sprinkler in yard other than new seedlings we did not water our lawn
milking machines vs yes the gas engine to cool the milk was noisy during chore time
water pump vs not
This is only a partial list, some the top things I can think of at the moment.
There are many times when I will pay extra attention to keep the background noises to a minimum. I sincerely enjoy the quietness most of the time. You should try it sometime. I truly think my brain is much more active when everything is quiet.
Like I said earlier, you will be hearing much more about how you too can live "The Best of Both Cultures" in the coming months so stay tuned.
