Being the Black Sheep

Let’s talk about being the “black sheep.” Traditionally, this term carries a negative connotation. It refers to someone who deviates from the norm, often viewed with skepticism or disapproval. But we live in a culture that is grappling with an overwhelming addiction to comfort and consumption. While existing in this context, being the black sheep can actually be the better way.

In western society, mediocrity and apathy are often accepted as standard operating procedure. In some ways, these approaches to life are even celebrated. In contrast to this, the black sheep— the one who dares to challenge the status quo — becomes a beacon of authenticity, courage, and resilience.
