TAO TE CHING ll

"THIRTY SPOKES ARE JOINED IN THE WHEEL'S HUB.
THE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE MAKES IT USEFUL.
MOLD CLAY INTO A BOWL.
THE EMPTY SPACE MAKES IT USEFUL.
CUT OUT DOORS AND WINDOWS FOR A HOUSE.
THE HOLES MAKE IT USEFUL.

THEREFORE, THE VALUE COMES FROM WHAT IS THERE.
BUT THE USE COMES FROM WHAT IS NOT THERE."
