As a follower of my religion, I vow to
- create
- seek knowledge for creation.
Creation ( not to be at all confused with creating life ) but trying to create something beautiful that took time and effort and care. Creation and accumulation of knowledge to that end is the highest of virtues and also my vow.
Note that knowledge being seeked must be to that end, even if remotely.
Pointlessly exploring branches that serves as no means to creation is a sin, a betrayal to self. For example, if I try to memorise digits of pi, that’s breaking the commandment.
Creation with no or shallow understanding is a sin for it is impossble to create something truly beautiful ( for you would simly not be able to see any beauty in it ) without understanding.
This in fact is the highest of virtues — I would call them primary virtues.
