We have all heard about this quote many times during our lifetime "Never judge a book by its cover" following the same I have many questions like, firstly why was it said and who said it? Why did it become so popular for the future generations to consider it so important that they made it a quote?
Was it because it was fancy or was it because people believed it made sense to convey something to someone during a situation without explaining too much.
I think it was because of the latter where people thought it was one of the easy ways to make a person understand; who used to come to a conclusion too quickly even without understanding the whole point (in every situation)
I was one of them too, I too believed in it because I felt it was sensible back then.Now I have a completely different understanding of this quote. People might argue about this after reading, but it's true that many of these kinds of quotes don't hold enough importance/relevance in today's life just like how they used to make earlier.
"Never judge a book by its cover" What I feel now is that in this fast pace life where nobody has time to do absolutely nothing apart from making their living(which is actually very hard) Nobody has time to open the cover and look into it to understand that it's not what they thought as per the Quote says.
Just look at this from a different angle/perspective. Either make the cover so beautiful so that people are forced to open it and read, understand what's inside (I am sure we all will do this, if the cover is attractive enough to lure us in) OR make the book/life so interesting that people don't even consider looking at the cover no matter how ugly or shabby looking it is. Now it's the same Quote that I am talking about but in a different perspective which I think holds good for this generation & the future ones too, which is going to be a faster one or more emotionless for sure.

Now let's argue...haha.
