Yeah, it's a thin line between Doing What Needs Doing and Deciding for Others What They Need to be Doing. Ref. the X-Laws.
Oh I think forgiveness does not necessarily involve making anyone look better than they are. It's more like, I think, seeing all the horribleness and accepting this inside the forgiveness. You gotta be kind of crazy to do the extremes.
The scarier bit is tearing down your own barriers between yourself and the Other. Then you become just like them.
