Would Arthur (Joker) turned out different if he were constantly fed compassion?

It made me think about mental health. A therapist recently told me that mental health requires compassion over treatment, much like animals under a lot of stress. You don't want to try and advise the person, but validate everything they feel. When a Tiger is angry it roars. Nothing is there to suppress it. Throughout the movie was constant berating and abuse. Even his therapist seemed to not care. Arthur did show signs of good virtues. Was he inherently demonic or just aggressively pushed that way?

I don't know.

But his stepdad who chained him to the radiator.
And his abusive mother who failed to protect him.
And the kids who hit him with the board.
And the subway people who kicked him.
And the woman in the bus who talked bad to him for entertaining the kid.
And Thomas Wayne who punched him in the bathroom.

All committed oppression against him. And we know Arthur showed mercy towards the man of short height.

And excessive harshness can make it HARDER to make the right choice, and to trust in the goodness of people. Just like the wolf preys on the lone sheep, so does the Devil attack loners as well.

But that doesn't exempt him from his wrongdoings. At the same time, I do not want to blame him---because the poor guy was abused, traumatized, hurt, and just lived a miserable life. Maybe he tried his best to control the evil within?

It's easy for me to "Judge" him because I had loving parents who taught me to curb my impulses and control my anger as a child --- but who knows what demons he has had to conquer?

Ideally, a society looks at these people and gives them their emotional and spiritual needs and goes above and beyond in giving them companionship and the keys to the pursuit of peace/happiness.
