Those things would come out by inheritance of traits that lead to the development of characteristics that differed between Faramir and Boromir.
It is 'by chance' that Faramir inherited these traits, but not entirely chance that they developed into the characteristics. Psychological studies have shown that behavior (personality) is at the maximum/minimum 70%/30% / 30%/70% heredity/environment. Boromir and Faramir were obviously in almost identical environments, so it was mostly the hereditary factors that distinguished the two.
