Maybe the Amish Are Right

The Amish are known for not liking their photos being taken. In Amish areas there are signs in stores asking people not to take their picture. They see posing for pictures as an act of sinful pride. I can remember in my youth that people would make fun of the Amish for thinking that "photography would steal their soul."

But today when we see so many young people losing themselves in social media and taking selfies, I realize the Amish were right all along. Selfie culture is fake, empty, and soulless.
