Have You Been Labelled the Black Sheep of the Family
You are probably intelligent, intuitive, and creative
If you have been labelled the “black sheep” of the family don’t despair a moment longer. Because, in addition to the stereotype of the “one that doesn’t fit in with your current crowd” you are also most likely to have high intelligence, abundant creativity, an industrious and intuitive nature, and possess a great sense of humor.
To coin the phrase “black sheep” or more correctly, the idiom, this somewhat derogatory label dates back to 1882. And way back in the 19th century a black sheep actually meant less coin. Less money for you and your family for the simple economical fact that black wool could not be dyed.
We are usually slapping human characteristics on to things. This can include animals. This is called personification. I am not saying animals don’t have emotions, sensitivity, and a soul. It is just that with the black sheep syndrome, we stigmatize humans.
The black sheep of the family is usually described as being disruptive and difficult.
However, the black sheep of the family is more often that not the most intuitive, sensitive, intelligent, and honest. This honesty, however, gets them into trouble.
