OH, my god!

Jared!
Yes, I was totally crazy at that time because my heart nearly broke when I saw him.

"...However, this kid's sexual experience, whether he enjoyed it or not, was plastered on the net for the whosoevers to look at. In that respect I think something was stolen from him. Whether I would lable that something as his privacy, or his dignity or trust or whatever, I don't know? But if guys who've seen that vid recognise the kid from around town, and I'm sure that some whould... then who knows the consequences of that for that boy. He's kinda launced into internet infamy and in that respect I really do think he's been violated in some way..."

I could not agree more. That was my main concern at that time.
As you said in one of your posting about it months ago, the harm has already been done, the vid's could easily be around the net actually. :-/

Thank you so much, now I understand.

Yes, he has a very, very special place in my heart, he is the one I owe it that I learned to pray. And as this is an ongoing practice for me now, I saw it as a very sweet sign that I happened to came along a poem of my new homecountry's finest poet for the first time:

"The leaves are falling, falling as from far,
from wilting in the heavens' farthest gardens:
They fall as to negate the summer's mirth.
And in the nights the heavy Earth
falls into solitude from star to star.
We all are falling. This my body bends.
And look at others: Fall remains their calling.
And yet there is One, who holds this falling
Immensely gently in His open hands."

Rainer Maria Rilke, Herbst (Autumn), translation A. Aue.
