That is a hard question,' said Candide.

This is what is the matter with us: we are bleeding at the roots because we are cut off from the earth and sun and stars.

Shape clay into a vessel; It is the space within that makes it useful. Cut doors and windows for a room; It is the holes which make it useful. Therefore benefit comes from what is there; Usefulness from what is not there.
