Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

The man never feels the want of what it never occurs to him to ask for.


The man never feels the want of what it never occurs to him

Summary

This quote suggests that if one lacks the knowledge or awareness to desire or ask for something, they will not feel a sense of need or longing for it. It highlights the idea that our wants and desires are often shaped by our knowledge and understanding of the world around us. If we are unfamiliar with something or are unaware of its existence, we are unlikely to yearn for it. Therefore, our desires are influenced by our experiences and knowledge, and lacking awareness of certain things can lead to contentment without them.
