How does it happen for any of us? Now is the time to work through it
though, bit by bit. I find that fear begins with self and ends with
Self. It is a slow but steady process of elimination through
understanding and acceptance, first experiencing ourselves as apart
from all people and eventually experiencing ourselves as a part of
all people. As for Barry, what he has done here has worked so well
for so long, it has served as a perfect mask for his own hypocrisy.
Whether he chooses to face it, and when, is up to him, of course.
