'Thirty spokes share ...."




Thirty spokes share one hub;
the empty space makes the cart useful.
Clay is shaped into a vessel;
the empty space makes the vase useful.
Cutting doors and windows makes a room;
the empty spaces make the room useful.
Therefore, what exists gives benefit.
What does not exist makes usefulness.
(extract, Chapter 11)
