I think a push/pull is easier for mostly everyone because you are simply going against a frictional force, but with levitating you are going against a gravitational force.
Yeah, I agree but I have heard about some people being really good at levitation, being able to control it within a matter of weeks/months
But for other it may take years to get something really light to levitate
that was more to the point of where I was getting at, sorry if it was misunderstood or inappropriate
