Thirty Spokes Unite One Hub

by Lao Tzu

Thirty spokes unite one hub

It is precisely where there is nothing, 
that we find the usefulness of the wheel.

We fire clay and make vessels

It is precisely where there's no substance, 
that we find the usefulness of clay pots.

We chisel out doors and windows

It is precisely in these empty spaces, 
that we find the usefulness of the room.

Therefore, we regard having something as beneficial

But having nothing is useful.
