I'm sorry to tell you that this is naive. Some people are just awful. Telling them they're awful or showing them won't change anything. You're living under the delusion that people at their core are on equal footing of being basically good. They aren't. It takes great effort and introspection to even move the needle toward good, and no one ever achieves it fully.

Take someone like Donald Trump. You think that guy has value buried deep inside? He doesn't. He is proud of his awfulness. You think the right words or right people in his life at 77 years old are going to bring out something meaningful? C'mon...
