I think in general, losing hope is easy and can be unexpected and crushing. Anything can make you lose hope, such as an idol shot down, and you can do desperate things when you feel like you need to gain hope. It's about how change can be scary or difficult. The part about feeding the fool could represent telling someone that everything is fine, someone who's never experience hardships or is naive.
When you have someone on your side, such as a friend to call, it makes gaining hope easier.
