Question

it's killing me...
can you explain it to me?? write me plz anything that seems logical... i want to present that proverb in a very interesting way... your help plz..

Answer 1

If one has never gotten a taste of what something is like, there is nothing to be missed. But if one gets a small taste of something good, only to have it ripped from their grasps, that is painful.

Answer 2

It is the anthesis of "tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." Your proverb basically means you just don't miss what you've never had. In essence, you don't know any better. Example: you've never been able to fly like Superman therefore you won't ever be able to feel the freedom of flying throught the air...

Answer 3

Ok say you like someone, but they don't like you back.
Then they move away.
Well you haven't really lost anything, because it (a relationship with the person) was never yours to begin with.

(Sorry, I got my relationship problems on my mind).

Answer 4

Expose yourself to risk, if you never had love, you can't lose it. That sucks, you're just stuck in a ho-hum life if you play it safe all the time.

Answer 5

Lossing something assumes that you had contact with it at one time. If you never had contact you can't possibly lose it. Or if you never knew something you can't foget it. Or if you don't know someone you can't miss them.

That help?

Answer 6

It means, "It never was your's in the first place" does that help?

Answer 7

If you don't have something you can't lose it, because it wasn't there in the first place.

Answer 8

I thought it went.... "You can never miss what you never had"
