The biggest difference here is in the doing. You have to grow into one mode over time and energy spent, the other is immediate gratification with minimal personal energy.
Everything valuable comes during the course of that process of growing and committing energy. And it’s so good. Don’t deny yourself.

It’ll enrich your life. Endless copies will not. They take that music, that emergence of order out of chaos, and return it back to chaos.
It’s void.
