How you know whatt you know and how you believe what you do
When you are born into the world, your brain is totally
blank. But it is in a very fertile state.. You begin to hear what your
parents speak, feel slowly how they do and share their anxieties, stress and joyous states
The knowledge of the outside world comes through you vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Slowly it records every single thing reaching it and shapes a view of your surroundings.
If your needs are met and if you are loved and given adequate care, you would develop a better security feeling and if your parents love each other and have an understanding, you would learn to trust the world and the people around.
When you grow up, you will develop more emotional balance so as not to not to panic when an adversity or a crisis looms above. You may see the world more friendly and good and face a failure or a problem more maturely. .
But if you have to shrill your lings out as a baby to get your basis needs met and if your parents are quarreling all the time, you will in all probability take the world as hostile and suspicious. You will develop insecurity such that as an adult you may not stick to one thing as the ‘;the other side is greener’ feeling will persist.
If you were in abject poverty without adequate nutrition coupled with a an insecure home, you would become very mal adjusted and may even turn a criminal and work against the society with scant regard for the societal norms.
Even your moral codes are based on your early impressions. If you were taught to be truthful, good and helpful you would live accordingly.
The ideas of your parents’ gods and the religious notions are all getting implanted during this period. With the thousands of repetitions you come to believe your early
childhood impressions and normally you continue to believe what your brain has recorded in the first five years.
All your moral and dress codes and eating habits are formed during this period.
Remember they are all different from society to society and each one thinks his is the best.
You may tend to like a particular feature of someone if a similar- featured -person loved you when you where a baby. Or, you may dislike another due to one who disliked you. The way you become is shaped by our childhood.
