Despair the most common our society. 'afraid' and 'fear' is the same common but they different role.
Fear is most common our mind even we happy or sad they subtle of fear. They just always there and make 'doubt'.
Afraid is just invade your emotion to make you 'relieve'.
I'm just saying that its okay to 'afraid' or 'fear' because they just there but you don't need to 'doubt' it because they part our 'emotion' because of that you gain to be 'cautious' and 'clever.
Im coward thats why im being to afraid to die and fear there's no chance our life. This is not novel that you reincarnated then you want to change everything.
