Whether daring is contrary to fear?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that daring is not contrary to fear. For Augustine says (Questions. 83, qu. 31) that "daring is a vice." Now vice is contrary to virtue. Since, therefore, fear is not a virtue but a passion, it seems that daring is not contrary to fear.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, to one thing there is one contrary. But hope is contrary to fear. Therefore daring is not contrary to fear.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, every passion excludes its opposite. But fear excludes safety; for Augustine says (Confess. ii, 6) that "fear takes forethought for safety." Therefore safety is contrary to fear. Therefore daring is not contrary to fear.
