Thirty spokes share the wheel's hub;
It is the center void that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the void which make them useful.
Some benefit comes from what is there,
But real usefulness from what is not.
