Things are the way they are for a reason. This 30-day return policy, that 365-day return policy, that infuriating phone tree system, the carpool lane hours, the traffic light that protects left turns. Sometimes it’s a good reason, sometimes it’s a bad reason.
Sometimes it’s just because no one has cared enough to change it yet. Sometimes it’s because no one has been brave enough yet.
Rosa Parks is remembered for a reason. She saw no reason for her to stand up and relinquish her seat to a standing white passenger at the order of the bus driver.
