Squid Game 2 Life Lessons
Greed Overpowers Logic
Greed often overpowers logic in the game as contestants prioritise the massive cash prize over their own lives. Despite the grim reality of increasing casualties, they were blinded by the promise of wealth, exemplified by the huge piggy bank that was dangling above the place they lived. Thus, it teaches a poignant lesson about the dangers of unchecked greed.
Beware Of Gambling Scams
Beware of gambling scams as depicted in Squid Game. Contestants were lured with promises of wealth, unaware they'd risk their lives. Similarly, real-life scammers entice victims with false hopes of easy winnings only to exploit and harm them.
Money Isn't Everything
One of the most crucial life lessons is that money isn't everything. Despite witnessing numerous deaths, contestants continued to risk their lives for the grand prize. This chilling reality highlights the importance of prioritising life over wealth. After all, money can still be earned if one is alive, making it a sobering reminder to reevaluate our values and priorities.
There has to be more to this story! Gihun shouldn't have given Inho those extra gunshots. Reason Inho became 001 & entered this deadly game was to earn trust. Also, that boat owner is suspicious he drowned someone & is hiding it. #SquidGame2 #Netflix #SquidGameSeason2 #SquidGame pic.twitter.com/eEE4k7AokO

Survival Instincts Often Overtakes
In this death game, survival instincts take precedence over emotions and relationships. The heart-wrenching separation of a mother-son duo and the Front Man's brutal act of choking a fellow contestant illustrate the primal human drive to survive. These moments serve as a poignant reminder that, when faced with mortality, the instinct to survive can overpower even the strongest bonds, teaching us a valuable lesson about human nature.
Sometimes Listening To Others Can Really Save You
When Seong Gi-hun, the protagonist warned fellow contestants to stop playing and exit the game, they opposed him. Despite his pleas, the majority voted to continue, driven by greed and desperation. This serves as a valuable life lesson i.e. listening to others, especially when they caution us against harm can be a matter of life and death.
