It doesn't matter if you don't have an ego. The wheel is composed of a large cylinder and 30 spokes. The wheel can be used as a wheel because it is empty in the middle; the bowl can be used as a bowl because it is empty in the middle; and the room can be used as a room because it is empty in the middle.
