Which Would You Do? (Actual Question)
So, I started reading the Maze Runner Series (I just finished the first book like a day ago and I’m onto the second) and it got me wondering which of the following would you choose if you had to.
Also, I don’t think this has any spoilers for those who wanna read the maze runner series, but readers discretion still advised, in case.
(You don’t have to read this set up for the question, it just gives you background on your choice. Question is at the bottom, labeled “A or B”.)

1. So, to set it up, you’ve been kidnapped and slapped right into the middle of a maze, having walls that box you in, or, to think of it differently, protect you from the ones who lurk beyond those walls. You have no memories of what you have lived through or what you have accomplished, just the basics of living and the first name you go by—not even your last. In the origin of the maze, you have everything needed to live, water, food to raise, other people. You’ve been in this maze for two years now, and have not found a way to escape, but others who do remember fragments of the outside world think of the maze as a protector, not a captivator.
Suddenly, you’ve also been giving the choice to escape from this place, having the risk of half your friends dying and not knowing what’s in the other side or keeping half your friends alive and bringing them possible happiness, which would you choose?
A. Try to escape whatever you’re being captive in, not necessarily knowing what lays on the other side, just knowing that it’s horrible and that you could all die just attempting it.
Or . . .
B. Stay content in the place you have been held hostage in, never knowing whether life would of been better on the other side, while, every night, something comes to kill one of you.
(If you’re wondering, I’d choose A. I’m not a risk taker, but I hate having something keeping me caged up or stopping me from doing something, even if it don’t care what it is. I’d rather die trying to escape than never knowing if I could even escape.)
