Must he or she feel harmed in order to “get the message” and become compassionate, then start to change? Can kind behavior, by itself, toward a despicable individual bring about change?
How do you see it?

Everything is relative to one's perception. What one sees as bad another may see as good. Too many people tell others how they should behave. Too many people honestly think that the world would be better, or at least they would be better if somebody else did a certain thing. In most cases they are wrong, but the real pity is that blaming others makes them feel good about themselves, which prevents them from playing well their part.
We attract in our reality what we believe, what we fear, what is deeply stored in our minds, and not what we want, what we consciously think.
A Seth quote:
"When man realizes that he himself creates his personal and universal environment in concrete terms, then he can begin to create a private and universal environment much superior to the one that is the result of haphazard and unenlightened constructions."
