considers an empty cup more useful than a full one.
This means simplicity and humility.
 Emptying can also be spiritual. For christian, poverty in

 Emptying can also be physical. For buddhists, without

holistic (acquiring wisdom through various dimensions
of being human including psychological, social,
emotional and moral aspects.
