Not to mention the myriad things that push *Barry's* buttons. If he's ever taken to heart his own angry reaction at having one of them pushed, if he's ever identified an attachment of his as a result, he's certainly never shared it with us, at least not that I can recall. Nor has he ever shown any signs of considering the button-pusher a "friend" for having pinpointed his samskaras for him--to the contrary.
