Or maybe you should only have the land if you created it. ;-)
Even with physical property, there are differences. I have total control over my socks. Sure, no one else wants them, but that's not the point. With a parcel of land, my control is not absolute. I can't charge a toll for airplanes flying overhead. If a river runs through my land, I can dictate who can fish there, but I can't take all of the fish in the river. We have roads because of thousands of years of the right-of-way.
