There is a difference between being afraid of something and not seeing a point to it. I can't be afraid of water if I'm already swimming. They know that they can bear their suffering because they are alreay bearing it. But they don't see any purpose or value in continuing the suffer. "I'm too scared to keep going" and "Why keep going?" are two different thoughts.
