Could you forgive someone who shot you?

I only suspect she is mimicing (though earnestly, I'm sure) or coached because at her age she can't really understand what exactly she is forgiving.

But I have no problem with the first of the definitions given above, though in that definition I don't so much think she is forgiving as just that she is young and emotionally resilient. We'll have to wait until she is 15 and really wants to be a cheerleader with the other popular girls to see if she is cheerleading.

The great thing about forgiveness that is purely internal is that it is non-binding and easily revoked.
