You are tuned in the direction of what you have consistently been seeing and hearing. That thing you know so much, that belief system you have so much held on to, that morals that have become your standard of living, that template you have placed as a yardstick to which you measure your life didn't just jump on you like magic, neither did you bring them from heaven; they are things you have consistently imitated and have consciously and unconsciously become part of you and this mostly happened/happens at the earliest phase of your life.
The brain of an infant is formed through a systematic process; you'd be thinking why so much English, is not just that a child grows? The truth is it is not just that a child grows; as a child grows physically they also develop intellectually, so many events and processes outplay in the process of development. The very first stage of growth for a child is the period where the child recognizes something by putting it in their mouth, this is why if you give something to a baby they take it straight to their mouth because at that stage, the only channel they use to relate with their environment is their mouth. Then there comes a time when their sights get activated, this is the phase when they can differentiate a solid from a liquid but can't differentiate a liquid from another liquid, e.g they cannot differentiate a bottle of hypo from a bottle of water. Moving on, there comes a stage when their sense of hearing is activated. I'm bringing this analogy to drive the point that; at each stage of development, a child gets different ideologies, opinions, and ideas into them from their environment. At the stage of development, the model of the child as at then is their environment (the environment consists of both the natural habitat and the people living in it)
