Sometimes the black sheep is the healthiest person in the family!
In every family there is a black sheep that defies, dares, faces changes, breaks the false zone of control and creates revolutions everywhere. The rebel.
The parameters of normality are easily blurred, but for some, normality is linked to standardized behavior, for others it has to do with religious concepts, etc. The fact is that normality is often confused with calm, tranquility and obedience, and one does not necessarily depend on the other.
We can get the wrong impression from people who dress or comb their hair differently even without realizing it. Likewise, we often point out those who champion their cause and love change and seem incomprehensible.
And especially in today’s world it is quite difficult, because judgments are based on what you see, what you wear, the clothes you wear, the purchasing power, the amount you consume. Therefore, to recognize the essence of people and to value it, is quite complex in our societies. But it never hurts to say that what matters is not the packaging, but what is inside, no matter what a person looks like, is worth more than what is in their heart.
That said, in the family nuclei there are always people who are considered the black sheep because of how they dress, talk or behave. But let us tell you that if you have a person who changes their look in an extreme way, who gets oxygenated, who does not follow the norm, you should lower your pointing finger for a moment and reflect on them.
No one is forced to live through a failed marriage, dress fashionably or behave in what they consider to be wrong. Only the bold can break new ground and point out what is wrong without fear.
Of course, this is not meant to justify people who behave in a harmful way and are completely toxic, divisive and conflictive to the family. We just want to make you think that many times you have pointed out a family member as a black sheep, simply because he or she doesn’t think like you. And the worst thing is that by creating a judgment, you are probably missing out on what a wonderful person he or she can be.
Often a person who does not follow the norm is completely sincere, they know why they believe what they believe and follow their heart. And they don’t mind being accepted by others, as long as they are happy.
Perhaps, by wanting to fit in with what your family expects of you, you are ceasing to be happy and joining them in judging another as the black sheep. If you had the courage to do what really makes you happy, the black sheep would automatically be you. Think about it.
