There can be various reasons why some lack courage, such as fear of failure, lack of self-confidence, past experiences, or societal pressures. Additionally, individual personality traits, upbringing, and environmental factors can also play a role in determining one's level of courage.
courage is not the exemption of fear, it is the ability to conqure that fear
The opposite of fear is courage. Courage is the ability to face and overcome fear, often by taking action in spite of it.

First, I think that we should rewrite this quote with better punctuations to make it easier to understand: "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear." (Mark Twain) I think that "Courage is resistance to fear" means that it is sort of an antagonist to fear. That's pretty straight forward... Then, "mastery of fear - not absence of fear" probably means that someone with courage will still have fear; it doesn't mean that he won't have or feel any fear, however he will use his courage to "master", control, and/or manage the fear and get passed it.
