He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a pers

Summary

This quote suggests that it is impossible for someone who has never made sacrifices for the greater good or for long-term benefits to truly understand or appreciate true happiness. It compares such individuals to blind people trying to discuss colors, insinuating that they lack the depth of experience and understanding necessary to grasp the concept of happiness. Sacrificing immediate gratification or personal desires for the betterment of others or for future rewards is seen as a crucial factor in attaining genuine happiness.
