Быть или не быть
"To or not to " is a template based on the line "To be, or not to be", spoken by the titular character in William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet" (around 1600). This template appears to have existed even prior to "Hamlet" and had previously been used specifically in a religious context to discuss "actions that are at once contradictory and indifferent—actions that, because they are neither commanded nor prohibited by Scripture, good nor evil in themselves, Christians are free to perform or omit".
