Could you forgive someone who shot you?

Yeah, I don't get any lack of free will from the philosophical conversation snippet. € indicated the reasons for it quite well. And I wonder how Alex has the free will to decide he has no free will?

I can't speak for a little paralyzed girl. I can't speak my my gunshot paralyzed nephew. But I can speak for my gunshot nephew's shellshocked uncle ... and forgiveness for such a thing (done quite on purpose in this particular case) will not be anything I'm likely ever to experience. It's been three years ... and if I'm not movin' on yet, I don't see how I'm ever going to.
