The state of the Amish people can't help but reminiscent of what the German philosopher Heidegger said, "people live on the earth poetically." Under the blue sky and on the grassland, the Amish people work hard and live poetically. This is almost like a "pastoral song", which provokes some unfulfilled wish of our "modern people". However, if we go deeper into the life world of the Amish people, we may find that they have also been experiencing severe tests of reality, and that poetry is more or less created in our imagination and expectations. Although the Amish have endured the impact of modern culture, their persistence in simple life and restraint in material desires still make modern people ashamed. Recalling our current life, the quality of material life has become the only criterion for people's success. Knowledge is materialized, life is materialized, and emotions are materialized. When neither material nor spirit can maintain a kind of innocence, we even feel a kind of helpless involuntary. Therefore, the poetic life of the Amish is so precious.
In today’s hospitals, due to the lack of medical resources, there are various misunderstandings between doctors and patients. We try our best to argue but appear pale and weak. Perhaps we should learn from the Amish attitude towards life, restraint and persevere, and don’t care about others treating us. As long as we are calm inside.
