You mistake silence for fear

...and consent

God made the Angels to show him Splendor, as he made animals for their innocence and plants for their simplicity. Man he made to work, wittily, in the tangle of his mind.

Now, if he brings us to such a place as there is no escape, then yes, we can stand to our tackle and clamour like champions(if we have the spittle for it) but until then it is our duty to escape.
