The comforting assurance that I'm not the only 'fearful' person may help us go on without throwing in the towel. To quote Urdu poet Aafaaq Kashmiri, 'Ek akela tu hi khaufzada nahin/ Aur bhi log hain tujh se zyada khaayaf' - you're not the only fearful person/ Others are even more fearful than you are.
