The Usefulness of Uselessness 無用之用

The Usefulness of Uselessness 無用之用

ENQUIRE NOW

The usefulness of uselessness. A tree that seems suitable for making furniture will be chopped down, yet a tree that is deemed unsuitable will be regarded as "useless" and survives. However, the tree may in fact have other purposes such as providing shade and benefiting the ecosystem. Hence, it may actually be more useful. This story hopes to inspire people to look at things we already know about in different perspectives instead of only making assumptions.

一棵樹如果適合做成家具,就會被砍伐。但一棵樹被世人認為「無用」,卻能生存下來,如此看來,它其實是「大用」。莊子希望藉這個故事,啟發世人用全新觀點探討已熟知的事物。
