it would not occur to you to cry over bits of pretty stone

An ancient Greek philosopher was consoling a heartbroken friend whose beautiful house had burned down. "If you really appreciated the importance things in life," he said, "it would not occur to you to cry over bits of pretty stone."

HI,
Does the bolded part in the above mean "you would never cry over ...?" Thanks.
