When you interact with Amish people, they aren’t exactly bundles of bubbly joy 24/7.
Being a human is hard, nobody ever said it was supposed to be easy. In Buddhism, even, the first of their four noble truths is that life is suffering. This does not mean there are not ways out of suffering, or that there are not also joys.
Anyways though, we’re all experiencing the human condition. The grass does indeed tend to appear greener on the other side of the fence, but that does not necessarily mean it is. Though I will say that going out in nature does tend to make me, personally, feel happier. That’s something we can do regardless of our use of technology though, with some discipline and conscious decision making you can have the best of both worlds.
