Who said courageis not the lack of fear but the ability to face it?
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." ~ Ambrose Redmoon "Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is the presence of fear with the capacity to manage and overcome it." ~ Anon. Catholics and Protestants believe in the Trinity. They both believe that Jesus is the God the Son, and that he died for sins. They both believe in heaven and hell. The Catholic Church has the whole truth because the pope is infallible when teaching on matters of Faith and Morals, it's teachings have been revealed by God himself, not personal interpretation of a bible. (Protestants just broke off from the true Church because Martin Luther thought it was too difficult to follow Christ's teachings)
What is the function of fear and how do you learn fear?
I found out that this gave much more meaning when we changed perspective of the question into: How to learn courage and become more fearless? Which in the answer would be that courage is not a LACK of fear, but merely facing your fear to realize that there is nothing to be afraid of: thus the funtion of fear is just that. So the function of fear seems to be some kind of guide. I.e facing death or other situations that are outside of your comfort zone to realize that they are nothing to worry about.

Causes of lack communication?
First of all there are different ways to communicate. There is texting, phone and face to face communication among many others. Let me make this clear: I am addressing face to face communication. When we are talking about 'lack of communication' then we must address most of all direct encounters. The primary cause for the lack of face to face comminication is the fear of angry exchanges. We all tend to back off from a fight. But this is exactly why this fear is the main cause of a lack of communication. We are afraid to cause anger, for anger will disturb what might be called our "need to find approval." But often it is anger, a free exchange of our position on a problem, that is the essential ingrediant of problem solving. And relationships can only exist if we get into the habit of consistently resolving differences. There is a whole section about problem solving called 'The Tools' in "Marriages, Shack-Ups and Other Disasters" - see web link below. I would suggest that you check out 'The Framing of Anger' in particular.
