Good evening my friend SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL. It certainly makes sense to return some things such as library books and other materiel checked out; as well as funds you borrow, tools and other durable commodities.
However in our culture the word borrow is a euphemism all too often. Borrowing sugar, a tissue, a seat in an office waiting room, etc. Those are generally never expected to be returned :-)
Borrowing a moment of time is really something that can never be returned in its original state - although sharing a later moment with that person can repay in kind :-)

Always return the borrowed item in the same or better condition as when you got it. I can’t tell how many times I have lent my tractor, lawn mower etc. to people only to have them returned devoid of fuel and dirty. Exasperating to say the least.

And in the same condition in which you borrowed it.
