Simplified Meaning:
People often hold certain beliefs because they've learned them from their surroundings. Imagine growing up in a family that always celebrates a certain holiday. Chances are, you will celebrate it too because it's what you've always known. This isn't just true for holidays, but for many ideas and customs. For example, if someone is raised to think that a certain type of food is bad, they might continue to avoid it even as an adult. This idea means that our environment, family, and society shape what we believe. To apply this to one's life, it can be helpful to sometimes question why we believe something and consider if it truly makes sense or if it's just what we've been taught.
