Cowardice is the primacy of self. When you put your own well being ahead of anything or anyone else, regardless of your commitments or responsibilities to them, that is cowardice. It differs from outright selfishness, although that is a part of it, in that it is driven by fear, not greed.
Cowardice denies any responsibility for the welfare of others or the common good. The priority for cowards is the individual, not the community. It is personal weakness rationalized as intellect. That is why people who act cowardly will never admit it.

Cowardice is a vice that is conventionally viewed as the corruption of prudence, to thwart all courage or bravery. Cowardice may be considered to be prudence that does not take consequences to their furthest extent. Basically it is the trait of lacking courage.
a person who shows fear or timidity is a coward.

'Cowardice' means lack of courage or resolution. And 'coward' means one who shows disgraceful fear or timidity.
Shakespeare has said : "Valiant never tastes of death but once and cowad dies many times before his death"!

Ignoble fear in the face of danger or pain.
I think everyone is a coward at one time or another in their life.
