Wish Them Not Away

We are as much a product of our mistakes as we are of our successes. 
To wish them away is to wish away who we have become because of them.

I don't know to whom that little nugget of wisdom should be credited.  Although it came from my noggin, it may have originated in some other truly wise noggin first.  (Most profound proverbs usually do.)  In any event, I blame Rain Laaman for triggering it.  I read her Hypothetical Day post on Rain-On Sentence today and commented.  It presented an interesting question and generated numerous responses.  It's worth a look.  Which would you choose?
