Could you forgive someone who shot you? - Page 7

I'm late into this thread, and not going to read it all, sorry guys.
But my answer is yes, I would forgive.

As a school bus driver many mooms ago, I drove a little boy about seven or eight to schhol every day.
His father had been angry with his mom, and tried to shoot both of them. The bullet had gone through the car door, and into the boys spine.
he was also confined to a chair.

Greatest attitude, wonderful child. What's done is done. Move on, find a way to live. My one cent.

In the same circumstance, I could forgive the shooter. Maybe not at her age, but eventually I would.

I can't describe my reasoning by talking about infinite or parallel universes, random chaos, electro-mechanics, free will or mooms.

For me, I would see it as the right thing to do. And when I say 'right' I don't mean theology, religion or the lack of either. It's just what I would eventually do. That's me. I have the uncanny ability to see things from another's eyes, even someone who shot a child. But I must say that I saw her pain first and the forgiveness that she speaks of (genuine or not). It's what I do. Sometimes I wish I could turn it off, but I can't and that's fine.
