Is there a possible question as to the nature of "foolish"? It is usually used with regard to single incidents rather than a long-term characteristic like "careful" ?? - Lector_Constante, May 8, 2011
La Burra's answer deals with this question. - Gekkosan, May 8, 2011
However, in my opinion "estar" is really only possible if you mean to say "I am being foolish". - Gekkosan, May 8, 2011

Hello and welcome to the forum! It depends ... if you are always foolish, foolishness is an inherent characteristic of your personality, then "ser" is the correct verb. If you are foolish temporarily, "estar" is the correct verb,
