borrowed is not quite perfect, is that a result of how you have treated it or
was it slightly imperfect to begin with?
No matter! The one who is
temporarily using that vessel is perfect, beautiful, and eternal. You have borrowed and agreed to use your
vessel for a very good and valuable purpose: to let your light shine. How are you doing at that?
