This choice: Frieza  •  Go Back...
Chapter #3

Frieza, the fear of change.

    by: Winnie the Pooh Author IconMail Icon
Frieza is one of the main antagonists. Son of King Cold and brother of Cooler (not yet canon). He is a tyrant who rules with an iron fist a vast galactic empire. His ambition? To conquer the Universe and maintain absolute control.

He destroys entire planets without remorse, convinced of his innate superiority. His cruelty is not only a sign of strength, but also a strategy to maintain terror. Any hint of defeat unleashes an uncontrollable rage in him, like when Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan.

Akira Toriyama chose cold-related names for Frieza and his family to emphasize their icy character. Frieza also represents real estate speculators during the Japanese economic bubble of the 80s. He considered them "the worst kind of people."

In psychology, one of the traits of narcissism is the constant fear of being devalued or ignored.
This insecurity is masked by an arrogant and dominant attitude. Frieza embodies this dynamic: he is obsessed with the idea of ​​being stronger, but every sign of failure sends him into crisis.

In addition to this, we can find in him a strong cognitive rigidity. He is unable to adapt to new information or situations. According to Albert Ellis, this mental block derives from rigid and absolutist thought patterns. Frieza is an example of this: he cannot accept that others can surpass him and continues to fight even when defeat is inevitable.

Frieza's arrogance arises from the belief that he is invincible, but behind this personal myth lies a deep fear of losing control. He only sees triumph or defeat, without considering intermediate paths.
His is a cognitive distortion called dichotomous thinking: right or wrong, black or white, good or bad.

How many times, like Frieza, do we become rigid for fear of losing control? Always being the best becomes a cage in which we trap ourselves. Behind the mask of arrogance, there is often a fragility that we do not want to show. But at what cost? How long should we keep that armor?

Accepting that we are not always invincible is the first step towards change. Recognizing our fragility allows us to evolve, as people and as more complete individuals.
"There is no strength without acceptance. There is no evolution without awareness."
