He that is robbed, not wanting what is stolen, him not know

Summary

This quote suggests that if someone does not perceive or recognize what has been taken from them during a robbery, then they have not truly been robbed. Ignorance about one's losses can be seen as a form of blissful unawareness that mitigates the impact of the theft. It highlights the importance of knowledge and awareness in determining the severity of a theft or loss.
