> Forgive (Cooperate): David forgives Samantha, giving her another chance, and tries to rebuild trust.

giving her another chance

He defines the word just bellow that. The definition doesn't include giving her another chance.

The definition he gives is aligned with the common usage on the philosophical and religious contexts. The way he uses all around the article is aligned with the popular usage and has a completely different meaning.

Nobody will ever go claiming forgiving people by the popular meaning is something you should always do. It's patently stupid.
