无之为用
The usefulness of empty space — a mind-shifting insight
“Thirty spokes share one hub. It is the empty space that makes the wheel useful. Clay is shaped into a vessel. It is the emptiness within that makes it useful.”
三十辐共一毂，当其无，有车之用。埏埴以为器，当其无，有器之用。凿户牖以为室，当其无，有室之用。故有之以为利，无之以为用。
What is not there is as important as what is. Leave space in your life — for rest, for silence, for the unexpected. The emptiness is not absence. It is potential.
此章是老子对'无'的功能最精辟的说明。
车轮因中空而有用，陶器因中空而有用，房屋因中空而有用。
有之以为利——'有'提供条件；无之以为用——'无'发挥效用。
与西方哲学'有'为根本不同，老子独重'无'的价值。
