"Sue I'm on TV" One of the best lines ever! I hope you guys enjoy this. Thanks for stopping by!
Can't wait!!!!
(A whole week... to long...)
Thanks for your Amazing works, with all the crisis that the 🇺🇸 going through it seems that you are in a mission to show the people some sort of solution that are simple but hidden away from our sites, you are showing people that a peaceful decent life is achievable.
Absolutely hilarious. He was such a character - these people seem so warm-hearted!
Good to see you, Peter! I've been following you since your great journey to Ukraine :)
You become a digital soldier, thanks for your multicultural videos!
Can’t wait! I look forward to your videos.
“they don’t like to be recorded”
the amish to everybody passing through: “I’M ON TV”
There ARE some Amish who don't like to be recorded. There's a spectrum of their acceptance of technology
@@topperhatschire bogos binted?
@@rabs7290 👽
All you have to do is ask permission, and they may say yes, or no. Don't just go recording them carefree just because you might think its normal to do it. Even many rural, non-Amish folk don't like that because it's not respectable.
@@benjaminharrisongray9079 yes thats true, also maybe it’s because it’s him with his hand camera and not a whole set pf cameras and microphones like the tv
These guys changed their “no electricity” rule when they realized how living in Florida without A/C is no joke.
If you're in the State of Florida you cannot live without air conditioning you have air conditioning in your car and in your house if you don't it's going to feel like hell 24/7
There are now breakout groups of Amish that fully use technology. Some of them even have UA-cam channels. I think only the most extreme are fully sticking to the rules at this point. Amish Meadows is one channel you could look up. They build really beautiful log homes.
🤣🤣
@@bp51082 I just don't understand how in 2021 you wouldn't want to use technology and you want to live like it's 1899
@@treverpitts They could build passive solar cooled houses. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windcatcher Such.
I like how chill they are. They seem more grounded than most average folks.
No they don't seem it. They just are lol I think this is inspiring. Shows how we all could live and be more happy
It’s bc they aren’t influenced by all the bs on social media
They're chill because these Amish are making money off the people coming to sample their culture. Hence the store in the first scene "amish meats and cheeses". This place is a tourist trap.
It speaks volumes to the damage its done in our society 🤔
@@konradbrochocki4923 At least they still have a culture... for now...
They are the embodiment of this guiding principle: "But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands." - 1 Thessalonians 4:10
I love and respect the Amish so much. Thank you for doing these videos.
Agree 100% 👍🇺🇸
bla bla bla
Man its something how we over look scripture.
I agree with all but the first part of that scripture. Modern sanitation and medicine mean we don't need to breed like rabbits to keep humanity going -- but living a quiet, productive life is something to aspire to.
@@greg_216 Breeding like rabbits is awfully bad, I agree. But we in the west are doing the exact opposite of that and not having enough kids to keep our countries going on the longer run. And that is not going well at all. Perhaps it tells something about opposing the scripture too much.
I like how they're all chilled out because of no mainstream media poisoning their minds. This is how I want to live.
You can choose it.
I'm not amish and I don't watch the news it's great
Then delete social media
@@connorwilliams7975 I couldn't agree more. I only use UA-cam.
Same here 😂
I‘m mad at media outlets for portraying traditional communities like backwards. I feel bad for judging these people up until this day. Thank you Peter for your content!
Dont ever believe what you hear.
You'd be surprised, these are like Amish lite. In Lancaster county there are some issues and backwards practices among the more hardcore Amish
Don't believe what the media are saying, I'm also sick of watching television shows about politics and have stopped with uproar on social media. The media only want money and don't care about what they are doing. Like stopping racism, but the media always talks about race.
If you want to stop racism, stop talking about race.
(Morgan Freeman)
@@circuskills1928 smart amish can hide some of their more backwards values when meeting the new people and only show the good side of their values to new people
@@circuskills1928 @baggedwrxwagon also you can even see here one of their more backwards values where they said you don't want your children to be independent go out and experience the "evil" of the world, even if the presenter doesn't know how to respond, they are just good at hiding their values
I moved out of the city & started to make friends with the Amish in Indiana. They are good people 🥰
So refreshing to be around nice like minded people. I'm never moving back to the city.
Isn't it against their religion to make friends with outsiders?
@@briancalifornia1 not at all. Some have very little contact with the outside world. Others do.
The ones who have very little contact seem to be much more shy around the english. That does not mean you cannot become friends.
What part? I live in Northern Indiana and work with some Amish folks. Very nice and hard working people.
@Michelle S. Why Amishes doesn't vote Republican? Because their values seems like republican
@@farzana6676 God is their president.
I love elderly people. They have so much wisdom and their stories are always so interesting!
Me too!!
My uncle retired several years ago and bought a farm in an Amish community near Chambersburg, PA. He was a gruff, hard drinking, swearing (every other word), non-religious construction contractor from NYC. He was single but frequently brought in various women from the NY area for weekend trysts. So he was everything the Amish were not, but they embraced and accepted into their community.
After a heart attack, they took care of him like he was family. They brought him breakfast, lunch and dinner, washed his clothes and cleaned his house, and everything required on a small farm, and did it all as if he were an Amish family member.
Oh, and one other thing, these people were by average American standards quite affluent, even wealthy. They have my respect and admiration -the Amish I met were wonderful people in every respect.
That's cool
Thats the way we Christians should be to one another and even strangers that don’t share the same faith as us
I am from Chambersburg and we have a large Amish and Mennonite community in this area. That's wonderful to hear how your uncle was taken care of.
What a great story! I'm a former NYer that moved out to Berks County, PA and Mennonites lived down the block, and throughout the area, and we were very close to Lancaster so I would see Amish people around, and buy there food at farmers markets and use their services. They were always very polite and smart too, and we admire their close knit communities.
There should be a movie made about your uncles life!’ 💯
This is missing from today's society. Everyone knows each other and are literally hanging out just enjoying one another's company. No phones, no tv, no distractions.
im Indonesian and i agree sometimes we don't need phones tv nor other distractions. just enjoy simple life with friends or family
Why "literally "? Do people figuratively hang out?
Bro you wrote this on a computer or phone. Please stop trying to sound woke when you’re contradicting yourself
@@lenoribahi Not trying to sound woke lmao. Stop being a pessimist. It's not very healthy for your mental health.
@@richardsherburne6889 I'm pretty sure you know what I meant but ya know gotta point out someone's mistake on the internetz.
I really enjoy the beautiful spirit of the five Amish gentlemen just hanging out together, how precious the company of others who strive as you do and have kept the Creator central throughout.
Who is the creator?

These videos are making me appreciate America on a whole different level.
Thank you for capturing the Amish community here very well! So many misconceptions about Amish and Mennonites! We live here in Sarasota! I grew up Amish and we are Mennonite now. I enjoy sharing things on my channel as well!
Lynette Yoder...Please pass PA Dutch on to your children, if you have any. Mir misse die mudderschprooch uff halde! We must preserve our precious dialect. I'm from York County, PA, and descended from a long line of Mennonite and Dunkard Brethren Dutchmen from the Hanover area.
Why do Amish speak German
@@carheadshots2523 Their forefathers came from German-speaking areas of Europe. Maintaining the language is a means of preserving their heritage and cultural identity, and insulating themselves from the outside, often sinful world.
Hi Lynette! Thanks so much for leading us to this great video. I'm of Pennsylvania Dutch descent and I've always been so shy to speak to the Amish who visit my neighborhood (next to the Amtrak at the San Francisco stop). I'll try to work up some gumption and say howdy sometime.
Came from you channel! Its cool to see other cultures like this
The guy who didn’t say anything standing in the corner with his arms crossed, that’s the guy that I would’ve like to have him talk.
Some people don't think with words.
Like his friend said, he is smart
Usually the smarter someone is the less they talk in my experience.
@@jonathanshepard1517 Most people dont think in words...
I bet he'd be OK if he had a chair there too, but we all know how room is always so limited so we hangout with one or two friends and if more are around, welp, they're standing in the corner, in the doorway, or whatever. I don't really like hang outs of more than three for talking and participating in a larger is always too confused and then I just end up being the guy observing becoming very bored. It was like that in groups as a kid most times so I was that guy standing in the corner or I'd just walk away and do my own thing after a while.
I think they got it right when they said we can’t live in fear during these stressful times. We have to help one another . That’s so true.
And here it is a year later, with threats again of lockdowns. We can NOT live in fear! Do NOT comply!
Their vibes reminds me of tent camping in campgrounds and how you'd hang out and make friends/community with the neighbours, walk everywhere, always be outside...the simple blessings.
Most Amish people live in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The overwhelming majority of them are really chill and actually sell very high quality goods.
Same with the Amish in western NY, and indiana! very welcoming, and amazing craftspeople.
yea there is a lot in Indiana we buy crops from them becuase the corn is very good, and the watermelons are always sweet.
And they make some of the best damn candy you can eat
there’s lots of Amish out here by me in southwest Ohio , but they’re much different than the people in this video. they won’t go on camera and most speak a German-English mix. and there’s certainly no power lines going to their homes hahaha
And Wayne County Indiana, and brene Indiana I am from Wayne County and Amish people are so nice
"You can be part of that big family too."
What a friggin sweet ole man.
But you have to follow Jesus....
it's literally an invitation to a cult
@@pawdererer lol
@@pawdererer yep a cult with free will to do what you want
@@pawdererer i’d legit live with a cult if this is all it is
I admire Peter’s confidence to ask honest questions with the potential of sounding ignorant to other cultures. Most of the time it seems people are happy answer without any judgement or awkwardness
Peter, I casually found out about your channel during the last Covid lockdown. My main intent was trying to educate myself about all the different cultures (something I've got since I was born) rather than watching meaningless videos out of boredom. Here we go. You've got one of the most intelligent, instructive, and impartial channels of all UA-cam and beyond. This is what I call an intelligent use of social media. Your glimpses of all layers and communities of the US are a great service to us all. When you, as a US citizen, admitted to having a kind of distorted/misconceived idea of the Amish community, made me feel less guilty, cause I had exactly the same, except that I'm a born and bred Italian woman. So, thanks again for your videos. Keep doing your job the way you do.
I'm German and couldn't agree more. Nice, unbiased and respectful guy doing really great stuff!
@@kingfisher9725 exactly, the main thing is to show them the respect they request, and then they see that you are presenting yourself as a decent person who simply wants to understand and then educate others.
Now it’s time to see the native Americans, maybe the badlands or Arizona
Yeah there are over 550 tribes, it would be hard to decide which to meet with and show
@@MmmmEcho I think doing a handful of different groups/nations would be cool to demonstrate that indigenous people aren't just a single group/monolith.
@@user-oc6xd4ee5l I think people say that about every single culture/group he encounters, and yet proven wrong each time.
yes please, really would like to see that
@@user-oc6xd4ee5l That's the stereotype right? but isn't that what this channel is all about? breaking stereotypes?
Perfect English, clean beard, collared shirts, suspenders, and friendship. Absolute class.

They are kind and make you realize simplicity in life. I was just there visiting my sweet friend.

I just want to say that I appreciate how respectful you were towards the people you met. Wonderful.
I didn't think anything would pique my interest quite like your Jewish segment. But here we are; VERY interested to see where this goes. Please keep them coming.
As an orthodox jew, I'm curious why it was such "best seller"
@@susrose reread your comment
It wasn't
Same! I do hope he does more with the Jewish communities.
I agree!
America is so incredibly diverse - when people say "Americans believe this" or "wow that's so American" it's honestly usually a silly generalization. Every state, town and city have their own unique cultures and sub-cultures, we are united in the sense the we believe in freedom but we are also extremely different.
And that's the whole problem. Alot of these religions and cultures can not work together there beliefs are so different if not illegal in the US.
I like your name, Mr. _
That's because many other countries are still highly jealous of Americans. They claim to hate American policies and governments and American views and so on, but they love American movies, music, clothing styles, locations, accomplishments etc. Lots of hypocrites overseas. However, Europe has some better qualities than America at times, but the world is a mixed bag. Every country has its good and bad aspects.
@Hairy Watermelon Nothing like it is today where we have way more immigrants then back then. Also back then they were happy to come and adapt to our Western/Anglo ideals but now they are all entitled and feel the majority should adapt to the minority.
@Polo Jack Cant stand media actually. I am good at reading people and yes while most of us remain polite and carry on I can see the anger or sadness in there eyes often. Guess it depends where you live as well.
Absolutely wonderful. You sir, are doing a superb job helping Americans know who we are as a whole, without being intrusive or disrespectful in any way. I enjoy every video you do. Thank you.
Peter I have been down the rabbit hole on your channel. I love it! Thank you so much for your content. You do an excellent work. This was a great episode. Keep up the good work.

@Am r There are so many, many, many wonderful Christians in America. Not just Amish but Christians nonetheless. We are just never talked about in the media so much of the world only hears about the bad things going on here. There are more good God-fearing people in this country than you know.

Just found this channel and have been binge watching. I’ve always been interested in the Amish and these guys are great.
Such a fabulous thing Peter is doing for us all. Fabulous people and it’s so great to get to chat with these folks thru you.
The World: Panic, fear, and fighting.
The Amish: “It’s all good brother, we are here for each other and God will take care of us.”
That’s true freedom in my opinion.
This comment is so so true!
That freedom comes from community and working together, sharing everything. If you dont have to make it on your own life is way easier and just better. That's why we need socialism/anarchism
@@rolandschmitt3692 No, just no. socialism and anarchism are nothing at all like helping the community, and comparing it to those is disingenuous as it misrepresents anarchism and socialism.
@@dinghysupreme2972 lol anarchism is literally all about community but what do I know
@@rolandschmitt3692 clearly nothing about the Amish if you think the way they run their community is anarchism.
I live in the Amish central of Lancaster, PA... Several mornings every week I can hear the carriages going by my house.. And they really are just very humble people. They do not openly interact with everyone but they run many businesses in the community and they work extremely hard for their business and for their families.. The rest of the world can learn a lot from their values. And their food is incredible!
👍🙏🙏🙏
I agree, they are hard working people. I Live in Philadelphia PA so I use to see them a lot here back in the 1980s but they mostly have kept away after that. I don't blame them Philadelphia PA is an evil city
Alexander except that puppy mills are very much ran by Amish there in Lancaster. Very cruel practice.
@@sandyb2379 I do agree! It's not something I approve of. But they also are 99% into farming and live stock which can also be considered cruel practice.
Ditto from York PA
This video is amazing, thank you for doing this work for those who need to be educated on this way of life. I'm so happy to catch this video and learn something new about the Amish.
Your videos are fascinating. Thank you for taking the time to learn and share like this. 😊🐕🐕🐾🐾
Just seeing how calm, clean and serene their neighborhoods are is such a light on my soul.
They kept God and simplicity.
But what a about diversity?
@@anthonyhawkins3341 what about it?
@@kingjoseph5901 it was sarcasm.
@@anthonyhawkins3341 ah okay. I dont even know what diversity is anyway.
I really appreciate how human your content is. The media frames the amish and the Hasidic communities as being these weird closed off groups. However, your videos really help people see how warm and normal people in these communities are. I wish there was more people making content like yours.
Well said!
But I think that like Peter there is only one!
Not everyone can do it like him..
The same people who judge communities like the Amish and the Hasidic Jews simultaneously also complain about how America has no authentic “culture” so people shouldn’t take their framing too seriously
@@ayz92 you are probably right. He brings an authentic honesty that is truly unique. His personality helps people feel comfortable enough to open up to. I don't think many others could be as successful making these videos.
For me, his intrigue and honesty is as good to watch as is learning about all the cultures he explores.
@@erikvaldur3334 I agree. 👍🏻
There's good and bad in every group but you'll find most people just want to get by and live a quiet life. It's true for the Amish and Hasidic communities and it's true for the people in foreign countries that the media likes to demonize. People are people.
One of the best series I have ever watched on any channel. Blessings Peter!
Just found your channel and this video series. Wow! Its so refreshing to see something like this. Showing the diversity of this country and in a positive light! Thank you! There is too much negativity and focus on what is wrong in the world today and you show the other side of things. Keep up the great work!
"If you read history, we're just human!" Best wisdom ever.
"Sue, I'm in TV!" so cute, so sweet, I laughed out loud, love that guy!
Lmao that was wholesome
That’s pretty cool how you came across the people! These misconceptions just puts others into questions unless you discover and connect to them in person and see the difference. I love your shows and how it generates information about others that we don’t have knowledge of. Thanks
I really appreciate the insights you provide into other communities ! I have always been fascinated by this ! Thanks
They look healthier & happier than "normal people" in our society.
But unfortunately they are not. There are many children with gene defects among the Amish and also the Hutterer because of marrying too close relatives over generations. There are also suffering very often from depression and other psychological problemes. I once read that Amish are 3x more on drugs like Prozac than the usual American.

What your doing on this channel Peter is very good work. I enjoy what you do and vlog the true nature of the cultures in the world. From the Amish to the inner city’s. Keep up the good work. God bless you.
Had no idea there are Amish in Florida. Love their energy!
They're snowbirds. And they're shitty drivers too. They're just more annoying tourists that clog up our streets and beaches here in Florida.
There are even Amish in the Amazon, so it doesn't surprise me jajajajajajaja
The Amish are saviors in my eyes..I had a little girl adopted by a Amish family and they saved both of are lives. Thank you to the Amish community and the family of Layla Miller 🥰 your the bliss in my life
What? You put your daughter for adoption
.. hopefully you have your daughter back now .. the Mennonites love to steal children or ADOPTION .. I would never take someone children or baby ..but just let them ..the new family live next door or something ..and help them rise a family ..
oh no :(
@@flexican5399 maybe Anna should of just lived at the Amish place also ..We should NEVER break up families ..never ..Amish should understand this

Such a breath of fresh air to watch someone posting something of real interest regarding our fellow man instead of the normal doom and gloom! Keep it up Pete, makes for great viewing and sooo insightful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

These videos are so addicting. Thank you so much for what you do. For a guy like me living in Romania, the other side of the world, it is so fascinating to see these things. Keep doing what you do, it's mind blowing and a truly interesting part of youtube!

I feel like all this didn’t hit them as hard as the rest of us and some people laugh at the Amish but they are doing something right
You should come to Sarasota. For weeks they have been hanging out at the park, playing volleyball, shuffleboard and lawn bowling. Food and fellowship everywhere.
I say this all the time. The Amish got it right
No, the disease is not deadly that is why
Yes there doing something right they know a bunch of skills , if the econmy goes down they stay alive
It hit them pretty hard in Ohio, quite a few deaths.
another amazing video! I love learning about people and you’re doing a great job of showing us different communities, I’d never have the chance of meeting
This is amazing !!! Keep up the good work , let’s share love and peace 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Can’t remember a time the world was this relaxed
I can! I grew up Mennonite in Missouri in the 80’s and 90’s!
I sure miss those days!
It's like this every damn day in 85pct of this country. Get your ass out of your city and youd know this. Cities only make up 5pct of this country.
There are a lot of Amish farmers here in the Midwest, but I’ve never seen them in an urban area like this. Fascinating.
This area isn't really urban its a very touristy area and this is the time of year when all the snow birds are down. If he was around in July there would be a lot less people and cars.
A little different for sure. In Maryland they’re.not usually this fun
I grew up in Missouri. They're very most conservative and closed except they do have general stores we like for it's farm fresh home made goods. I used to see them in the early 2000's always packing the grey hound buses before and after Christmas and Easter where we needed more buses so lots of people were left sitting and waiting many many hours. I guess it was about year 2000 when they started going Greyhound between states probably from Kansas to Pennsylvania. No talking was possible despite spending time around them and no English speaking was ever heard on these bus trips I regularly went on for a number of years.
Here in northern New York their are thousands of Amish and they are nothing like this. Very few are outgoing like these people. They certainly won’t ride bikes with rubber tires and none of them live in villages or cities.
Peter, I absolutely love your documentary style and the very interesting stories you tell. I am hooked and you deserve some serious recognition.
Thank you for your work. I appreciate your channel and your humility.
Wow this is right in my backyard. Great video man
Me too!

Some great food and quality goods. damn fine pies at yoders. Double crust blueberry and shoofly are spectacular.
I think it's cool how you give people a voice in a way that's unbiased. You genuinely like all people and want us all to get along and try to understand each other.

Thank you so much for what you do, you are like Drew Binsky making these great videos and connecting with great people! The Amish come to my home town of Glenwood Springs for vacation every summer!
I just recently discovered this guy’s videos. They are beautiful. Don’t stop making them!
I’m from Lancaster PA, and I can tell you, there is thousands of Amish people around and if you ever tried to talk to any of em they are some of the nicest people. Hell I even met a 18 year old kid and he wanted to ride in my truck for the first time lol.
Lmfaooooo
Those guys at the Wisdom Bench were waiting there all day just for you to sit down and ask them questions. 😁 This was nicely educational.
Absolutely. I feel like every town has a wisdom bench with old guys waiting for that moment lol
I loved the end! The nice lady inviting him over for supper and how truly touched you sounded.
I'm still watching your Amish video series, Peter! I think my Sunday today is all about watching your awesome videos, sir! Lee from Pennsylvania.
That gentleman on the porch is what we call a real 'character'.
He was the life....yes indeed
😂 I have a grandparent like that and he reminded me of them so much and it was hilarious
Much love and respect from a Saudi living in the USA! You have and still my favorite UA-camr who reflects the reality of people as it should be. Keep it up brother Petter. Btw, I live in the Midwest (Wisconsin) and sometimes I buy sheep and honey from Amish people they are the best people I have dealt with.
Subscribed and will be watching all your videos. I respect and love the way you interact with people. It's hard to find channels like yours. Nice to see confident comfortable people using their talents for themselves and others.
I really love how simple they keep. They worry about their community, meaning the people around them and don’t concern themselves with what’s happening outside their area and it just seems they have so much less stress. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing people with all of us.
“Hey we’re on tv Bob”😂😂 these guys are funny
🤣🤣
I cant lie, studying philosophy has opened my mind and made me see life completely different than most. These videos are absolutely amazing. You have one life to live, one chance to experience as much as you can. And you living this life and allowing others to live through you is amazing!! Please keep it up
I've also been studying philosophy, completely life changing dude. I love it. Check out Academy of Ideas on UA-cam they're great
Just curious has philosophy lead you towards agnosticism, atheism of towards theism. Its always interesting seeing how it leads to belief/non-belief when we study the human condition.
Love these people, so warm. we could learn alot
Good on you for having some curiosity about your home country. This is so important. Well done.
OMG I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS SERIES!!!! I've always had an interest in Amish people and wanted to learn more about them. especially since as an Orthodox Jew, people always compared me to them lol
Why is that ? Are you somehow similar ?
@@user-pz8nt4pv1r we're not at all lol, but people who don't know about my culture see my modest dress, or Orthodox men with beards, or the fact that we don't work on Saturdays and equate me with Amish people. I mean I don't mind it, it's just a tad ignorant :)
@@CynicalDuchess I was born into a Christian family and I always had those prejudices and misconceptions about Jews. And I am glad I don't have them now. People are way more different in reality than what I was told:)
@@user-pz8nt4pv1r omg I love that!!! Honestly the more I learn about other cultures the more I realize how similar we all are. if you wanna really be surprised, I recommend you check out Nissim Black's The Hava Song. he's an Orthodox Jewish Black Rapper who just did his own take on the hava nagila song. really puts things into perspective.
@@CynicalDuchess I am completely in love with Hava song. And I have always been interested in different cultures,especially into Jewish people and culture, especially when I got into the university in Uman, Ukraine where there are quite a lot of Jews coming each year to celebrate New Year and to honor their Rabbi.
Notice how the elder is listening more than speaking compared to the others.
We learn if we listen. You got that right my friend...
Love this.... He stumbled upon the chillest Bros in the Amish community....
Awesome videos. Really appreciate you sharing these experiences with us and educating us through them.
I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and never knew this community existed, thanks for sharing Peter!
Same
It’s in a lotta states
Sarasota .. down the road from where I lived.
Same thought he was headed to Pennsylvania actually lol
I think if I remember correctly, this started community started in Switzerland and Southern Germany but got picked up strongly by the Americans once the movement went abroad.
Edit: Got to the part where he confirmed it himself.
that place looks like true paradise. I am so jealous of their sense of community and true happiness. and ya I had no idea there are amish in Florida.
This is so wholesome. I really felt that when you said you're discovering your own country for the first time. You are doing something very beautiful and meaningful with those videos. Keep it up!
Found your channel yesterday. Just love what you're doing, you're respectful, entertaining and an educator. Keep it up, I look forwards to watching more of your output :)
You have given me hope with these videos. The world seems grim, cold and dark but you are showing us that it's not. There is love, kindness, compassion and understanding everywhere. The world isn't like what the media and our leaders want us to believe it's like. I love your work. Thank you for bringing us with you.
This is part of what America is lacking. Strong communities, a life with purpose, helping one another, a common goal. This ultimately is why faith in God is so important.
@@BPchadlite You seem like a very angry person. Sounds like you don't have a strong community. I hope you don't live in anger like that. It's a terrible feeling to get accustomed to. I would know.
@@BPchadlite And you think Science isn’t corrupt and backed by major financial influence? Not all “science” is for the benefit of humanity but often to its absolute detriment.
@@mystictr1265 Science is a methodology, it isn't corrupt nor pure, it's just knowledge. Belonging to a community has a lot of advantages, but can also be stifling. The US offers the freedom to choose.
@@joshlete If you are not born into the Amish or ultraorthodox jewish communities and you have to live in modern society (without moral rules and the belief in God) you´re living isolated and helpless (state authority versus the authority of god and a helping likeminded community). I envy these people.
@@kjellandreassen5443 That sort of proves his point.
Such a great series. Love listening to other groups talking and these people know how to live. Also, you view on California is spot on. Horrible what's happening there.
I love the work you do man! It's amazing. Everyone has a story and you're doing an amazing job sharing the story of the unheard.
Like the man said, "If you read history, we're just human".
Literally just heard this in the video while reading comments and its SO true. Some great souls here.
And?
@@Anticommunism99 history is the manual to shit u should not repeat. Ignore it and ull be damned to repeat it, and pay dearly.
I have just discovered your channel. I Loved this beautiful video. Humanity and decency. Great work. We have to learn to understand and respect beach other. Thank you
another great video ! Thank you 🙏
