Wú Yòng Zhī Yòng (無用之用) translates to "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 from different perspectives, instead of making their own assumptions.
