Temporary Fixes
I just read the "Simple Life or Abundant Life" By Cara Baker (Davis)
She writes, "But although people are looking for escape, and finding it (everywhere from yoga to the movies to extreme sports), most are only looking for a temporary fix."
I agree. Many also say they would like to withdraw from the helter skelter rat race they find themselves in, but few will do so for any length of time.
Plain Attractions
Twenty five years ago, after the Academy Award winning "Witness" was released, the Amish and the plain people of Intercourse and Lancaster County suddenly found dozens of wanna-be-Amish in their communities. Attracted by a lifestyle seemingly oblivious to the cares of the greater world around them, some even entered the probationary phase for membership in Amish Churches. Needless to say they fell by the wayside, and one insider tells me that none of the "Witness" converts became devotees in the Amish churches of PA.
