Don't show him that HE did horrible things, show him that horrible things will happen. That way he gets the idea in his head to stop those things and ends up doing them.

Dude loses his mind/goes on a massive bender and does the thing, only to wake up later and realize he dun goof'd

Dude's trying to protect the thing at all costs, but the more he protects, the worse it gets

I guess I could give you a better answer if you told me what these horrible things were

Seeing the future collapses the light cone into the form that was measured.

So is this like some sort of Oedipus prophesy thing?

Well in the original myth, the oracle told the king that his son would kill him, so he ordered his son executed, but the servant took pity on the child and didn't do the job. So he grew up believing that another was his father and didn't know who his real father was. One day, he killed a random annoying prick by accident, and guess who it was.

Also, Oedipus was oracled to sleep with his mother by accident. He put as much distance between himself and his "mother" as possible, but didn't know he was adopted when he fulfilled the prophesy.

So basically, dramatic irony. Nobody ever told him the truth about his parentage, so he spent his life believing something that was wrong and was looking in the wrong direction when trying to avoid his fate.
