Pain - Wisdom

Talking with a good friend about what's been going in my life lately, which I suppose you can infer from my previous post that it has been something difficult, I mentioned to him the thought that I wished I wouldn't have taken certain decision that were obviously mistaken know that I see things from a different perspective but that certainly hurt me a lot.  I felt stupid from those decisions I took and I wished I could have taken a different decision.  He said something simple but true "You didn't know what you know now".  He also asked me if I would have prefered not taking those decisions but live with the question "what would have happened if I had... or hadn't... done this or that?".  One definitely would have saved me some pain but I would definitely not know what I know.  After that I came up with this phrase.

Hurt passes but wisdom and knowledge remain.

Those are things that are very important to me -wisdom and knowledge- because I'm a teacher, and don't think of a school when I say the word "teacher", I like sharing what I know with people inside and outside a classroom.  Now you have a lot to think and say about that short phrase -I know.

Please comment.

P.S.
I should copyright my phrase, anybody knows how?
