There is truth in paradox. Reality, and seeming reality. The harder one grasps, the more slips through their fingers. Fear, as I have often observed, is generated from unknowing that which must be known, but is known by the fearful as not known. Terror can only best be demonstrated by those filled with terror, a pain with no medicine, that must be expunged via projection/transference on the knowers. Imagine the terror of existing in the void of dualism, when all senses point to the emptiness of non-being, as something to be let go of, but fear of that void clings to the 'self,' as if the self can somehow conquer fears by creating the illusion/delusion of 'others' as responsible for those fears. This is where much of humanity now finds itself, led by the frightened, deluged upon by all those projected fears, being cheered on to both accept and assuage those fears as evidence of the danger from some 'other.' Paranoia is the prison from which all cries of grievance are shouted. Then, the deceptive promise of 'only I can fix it' is shouted from the rooftops. Believe me, the check is in the mail, and the betrayer is here to protect us all.
