Summary

This quote suggests that life itself is an ongoing state of imperfection, never fully reaching a point of perfection or completeness. It implies that there is always room for growth, change, and improvement, and that the idea of attaining a state of perfection or absolute fulfillment is unattainable. The use of the term "imperfect tense" reinforces the notion that existence is a continuous and indefinite state, highlighting the inherent imperfections and uncertainties that come with being alive.
