Can I forgive situations?  I read a published work that said if I have a sore knee, I can forgive my knee.  What do you think?

To forgive is to reach out in a merciful way to persons—–to persons.  The essence of forgiveness is to love those who do not love you.  Is your knee a person?  Can you love your knee?  You certainly can take care of your knee, but to love presumes that the other could, at least as a potentiality, love you back.  Can your knee respond to your care by loving you?  I think you can see that it is logically impossible to forgive your knee.
