5 Life Lessons and Moral Value in "The Maze Runner 2 : The Scorch Trials" (Spoiler Alert!) - The Maze Runner Series

1) Sometimes disappointments can turn out to be a huge blessings in disguise!

In the WCKED facility at the beginning of the movie, some of the maze survivors from the other mazes were happy and excited to be selected. Little did they know that means that they would be experimented on like lab rats! We initially thought Aris was not chosen because he was weak and small-built (not a fine specimen), but in fact, it turned out to be a blessing for him as he was able to escape the facility with Thomas' group into the Scorch!

2) At the rate it is going, the world is likely going to end up like a post-apocalyptic scene.

"The Maze Runner 2 : The Scorch Trials" movie portrays the remnant human civilisation living in a post-apocalyptic world. This is quite a possible scenario in the future looking at how things are going right now. God bless us all!

3) A very practical piece of safety advice: Avoid large open spaces in a thunderstorm - there's a higher chance of survival that way. Take cover!!

In the Scorch, while running in a thunderstorm towards the abandoned facility, Minho is struck by lightning due to the large open desert space that the group was running on. Whenever possible, avoid large open spaces in a thunderstorm! Minho survived the lightning strike, but not everyone is so blessed!

4) Even a best friend is capable of betrayal. Don't place your faith and trust completely in humans. You will inevitably be disappointed.

Out of Thomas' group and The Right Arm's expectations, Teresa betrayed them all by informing WCKED of the whereabouts of The Right Arm's relief camp, leading to its utter destruction. Have you ever been betrayed by someone close to you whom you trusted in? Humans make mistakes, so don't place all your faith and trust in humans, or you'll inevitably be disappointed.

5) A harsh environment tends to shape people to become guarded, distrustful and ruthless. It activates their protective and survival instincts.

Jorge and his dangerous band of survivors chained Thomas and his group upside-down by their ankles, and dangled them from a great height to force them to share information about WCKED with them. In a harsh and dangerous environment like the Scorch, it is very natural to become guarded when facing new, unfamiliar people so as to survive and protect loved ones.
