Unwise, recognizing...

Equanimity involves having the capacity to let others be themselves and make their own choices, even if they are unwise, recognizing that we can't make others' decisions for them or alter the consequences of their decisions.

The underlined part is very unclear. I'd like to know if my understanding is correct:

even if they are not clever enough to know we can make their decisions instead of themselves and alter...... (actually we are able to make theri decisiions for them).

Thanks in advance!
