If we wanna go deeper, creating something requires consuming something else, so I don't think there is some sort of balancing behavior that makes a difference. Maybe it's more important to think not just in terms of consuming and producing, but also the quality of what we produce. But that's a very subjective thing.
And then, a person who creates is always better than someone who doesn't create anything? Don't think so. It's not something I would judge a person for.

I'm not a minimalistic but I'm smart enough to understand when I really need something and when I buy something just for fun and for the dopamine of possessing something I like. Is creating music and art related to that? Not sure, but I get the story 😊
