The Black sheep effect
In psychology, they talk about the "Black Sheep Theory and Syndrome". Each of us knows what it is, and there is at least one such person in every family.
Maybe we are that person. But many People do not know about the "Black Sheep Effect" and few realise its importance for our social system.
The term "black sheep" is often used in a negative sense, but it is only a point of view and we must realise how incredibly useful and necessary a black sheep is for us. Without a black sheep in the families and society, nothing would change. The fight for uniformity would win over diversity and development.
A black sheep is a person who is the first to break out of the grip of established processes, opinions and thought processes. He/she is usually a person who is uncomfortable for the family and society and creates conflict. Instead of being perceived as a motivator for change in the family, he/she is often left out and pushed out of the circle.
In the best case, the sheep decides to attract and establish its own circle, thus creating a new tree branch where thanks to it, a new fresher generation will develop.
In the worst case, the sheep tries to adapt to the old circle, but in that case it becomes unhappy and eventually sick because it does not follow its inner feelings and instincts.
I'm not saying that a black sheep is always a positive asset to society, but that will only become clear over time. Maybe we won't see it directly, but the next generation may. It is said that everything that is bad may be in the end good for something.
How do we know when a person is the real "black sheep"?
When they follow their heart. When they listen to their intuition and sense their soul's path. Being a black sheep is not easy, they often have to break ties with close people and family. They often make illogical decisions and actions. For others, they are non-conformist and seem out of this world. They are considered crazy, but without them, this world would be boring.
But notice one thing, a lot of "black sheep" are not trying to persuade anyone to their own system and opinions, they are just trying to live their own life and want to be accepted.
