I think we all would like people to be the person we hope and pray that they can be. This question really has a lot of facets depending on how you approach it.
For example let's say you care about someone who consistently makes bad choices. Perhaps it is a certain crime they commit ormaube they are addicted to drugs. Those are both things that society would frown upon however, because you care about the person you wish that others could see the good in them that you do.
Another example could be political leaders. You really want them to make the best decisions for the betterment of the place where you live. Your hope is that no matter how society views them, they will do what is best for the people as a whole. You want them to be the best version of themselves that they can be.
