Meandering through the back roads and farm patches of Amish country villages in Pennsylvania, it's hard not to notice that the inhabitants value the meaning behind honest work. It may be difficult for some to understand the avoidance of many modern technologies, but as one soaks up the crisp clean air and sunshine in the rustic scenes from village to village it all starts to make a little more sense. There must be something very satisfying in using one's own strength to produce what is needed in life. One could imagine that surely a peaceful, hearty sleep must accompany the independence and sense of pride and accomplishment after a good hard day's worth of work.
