Calm your frenetic TL;DR twitchy-Twitter-brain for five minutes, and let some Chinese philosophy wash over you.
Thirty spokes join in one hub In its emptiness, there is the function of a vehicle
Mix clay to create a container In its emptiness, there is the function of a container
Cut open doors and windows to create a room In its emptiness, there is the function of a room
Therefore, that which exists is used to create benefit That which is empty is used to create functionality
–Lao Tzu, Chapter 11, Tao Te Ching, ~600 BCE, translation by Derek Lin
