-In this episode: We see in history that Nature is a great healer of 'closed up' thought. It is eliminated by deferring a focus on self, and establishing a focus on others. Family relationships become a major source of joy.

-In this episode: History indicates that 'closed up' Mercy strategy, when confronted by opposition, leads to 'dark side thought' that tends to express itself in violence. Death and disease become objects of fear. This frame of mind is easily passed on to children.
