lose

*"You can't lose what you never had."*

The above phrase is self explained.. but still I want to know the true explanation of it.

Does the above phrase emphasize on what is not said but understood, "if we have lost something it means we had, had it"?

Can anyone suggests your own views on the abvoe.
