The Squid Game: A Reflection on Fear and Humanity

January 1, 2025

The Squid Game is one of those series that leaves you grappling with the depths of human behavior. At its core, it’s a psychological exploration of how fear and survival instincts can strip away the masks we wear, revealing our truest—or perhaps darkest—selves. Watching the contestants navigate life-or-death situations makes you wonder: what would you do in their shoes?

The brilliance of the series lies not just in its twisted games but in the questions it forces us to ask about morality, desperation, and human connection. It’s a weird, unsettling watch, but undeniably gripping.

On a personal note, revisiting season one after some healing and growth gave me a completely different perspective compared to how I viewed season two. It’s a testament to how our evolving mindset shapes the way we interpret stories.

If you haven’t watched it yet, I recommend diving in. It’s more than just entertainment—it’s an opportunity for reflection.
