How to use "Foolishness" in context?
There is no knowing what might have been had Eric Thomas not been so foolish as to drive his car off a cliff. But because of that fateful decision, the world now knows of the tragic story of Eric Thomas and his little girl. While this may be the only time that Eric Thomas is remembered, the lessons he tried to teach his daughter will live on forever. Unfortunately, there are many other families out there who are dealing with similar tragedies. It is up to us, as individuals, to be as prudent and careful as possible so that something like this never happens to us or to a loved one.
