Why all this? Why 80 stories about people without phones?
Not to become Amish. Not to throw away the phone. Not to buy a horse.
But to ask yourself: of everything I do every day — what did I choose? And what just happened because everyone does it?
Amish choose. Consciously. Every technology, every habit, every rule — discussed, voted, accepted or rejected. We don't. We get a new iPhone because the old one is 2 years old. We scroll because everyone scrolls. We run because everyone runs.
Amish don't run. They walk. Slowly. But they know where they're going.
Maybe it's not about the buggy. Maybe it's about stopping sometimes, watching the sunset, and asking: 'Do I need this? Or was it sold to me?'
The answer is yours. As is the choice.
