There are not many corrective remedies for foolishness.
Lots of books and parables have been written about choosing wisdom and how to be wise, but there is little about getting rid of foolishness.
According to scripture, foolishness can be part of someone's life from childhood. Proverbs 22:15, where it speaks about " THE ROD OF CORRECTION" driving it out.
Foolishness will ruin someone's life, (character) that men will despise and God will hate.
The parables about the wise man who built his house on the rock and the foolish who built on sand; the five wise virgins and the five foolish, are lessons on avoiding foolishness. But, how do we get rid of it?
Foolishness consist of wrong wishes, purposes, thoughts, pride, sin, silly speech and bad behavior.
Many people easily recognize foolishness, but cannot offer corrective measures.
A person acting foolishly must be corrected by bringing attention to their foolish deeds. This is the first step.
Secondly; lovingkindness, soft words and patience will be the ' rod of correction' working with a foolish individual.
Thirdly; thoughtfulness and prayer.
A FOOL CAN NEVER WIN AND STAY AHEAD!
