Often people judge a book without even reading the first page
They look at the cover and judge it by its appearance
The most desired ones are the brand new books the ones In perfect condition, not one bent page.      
then there’s the battered book,  used so many times that’s it’s falling apart and after a while they are just thrown away, titled damaged and unfixable.  
but then someone finds its and after some love and time it looked almost brand new, yes there are still some creases,  for the past can never be fully erased, but other than that it appeared new
And you see  
I’m not really talking about books I’m talking about humans
Yes you’ll never be able to truly erase the past
But with some love
Someone who was once broken and said of no use
Can become someone new
