There would be no sense of deprivation in the absence of knowledge and desire... however, the consequence of the denial can not be escaped.

yes I have 3 examples
a baby knows nothing but you would still be denying it if you didn't teach it or give it things
people in North Korea are kept in the dark and sheltered and don't know what is out there but are denied things like freedom and health care
there are treatments for AIDS that are not known about by most people. i would say the kids dying of aids are being denied

Since: humans experience through the gathering of information, and a decision on desire, which cannot be made without knowledge, is a decision denied
And since: denial of knowledge is denial of a part of the object in question
The extent of the denial is equal to the extent of your ability to understand the object.

The knowledge what you desire will REACH you if you are really in need of it, by some means.

Yes. What rightfully belongs to you is yours whether you are aware of it or not. The other party should be responsible enough to inform you.
If you are a beneficiary of a will, regardless of whether you know the person or not, the executor of that Will will have to locate you so you may enjoy what was bestowed on you.

You are really being denied in that something is really being withheld from you; only, since you have no knowledge ot it, you don't feel denied.

Yes you are. You may not have the desire or knowledge right now, but you may have it later.

Of course you can be denied it, but if you don't want it, it doesn't, or shouldn't, matter. However, we all know there are people who will shout and demand things they don't want or need or even understand, just because they are not reasonable or sane.

If knowledge of it is available, no.
If it is concealed from you, yes.
