Perception and Sympathetic Support -- How Perception and Respect May Be Quite Related

Regarding, the sympathetic support of others; perception and respect -- How are they related?

For one thing, having sympathy for another person is hard to do, if you don't respect them. The lack of respect, prompts apathy or contemptuous disdain, which is not conducive to the nature of sympathy.

It is hard to feel-for a person, who one believes is bad in nature, or who has slighted us. Perhaps, we need to be at "zero" or even with a person (aka -- someone who has not lost points with us) to be open to sympathizing with them in relationship to their feelings and opinions. That support system, may all depend upon our sweet perception of them. After-all -- It's hard to be sweet to someone, if they have been cold to us or did something that we perceive as, as not good. And it's so much easier to support who we believe to be "the good guy", which we pinpoint by our perception of his or her behaviour and character, by way of reputation and presentation.

What do you think, about perception and sympathetic support in relationships?
