We can have a negative perception about people and we may work on that, and we may neutralise it, and with a bit more work even transform it into being good-willed and positive.
However a real definite and overall change in perception happens when we get to know them, spend some time with them and join them in their struggles and fights.
Then we really come to understand them and know them...and this is what produces the change in us.
The change that is produced in us towards them is a long lasting one which does not easily turn negative, whereas before this, our perception would easily slip back to something that had a negative overtone to it.
In conclusion, if we do have a negative perception or concept of a person or group of persons, and we would really like to shift that. Then the way to do it is very easy. Somehow try and help them with something, fight alongside them and then you will surely get to know their values, what they have and who they are in their heart. Not fully but hopefully to a degree that is enough to produce that change.
There is nothing like the action of struggling to overcome obstacles and difficulties to bring out what human beings have in their heart, and if that is witnessed by others, that also brings out what is in the hearts of those who witness...
