Thirty spokes unite at the wheel's hub
It is the centre hole that makes it useful
Shape clay into a vessel
It is space within that makes it useful
Cut out the doors and windows for a room
It is the holes which make it useful
Therefore profit comes from what is there
Usefulness from what is not there
