Mexican Taxis Overcharging White Boy

I used to get pissed at taxis overcharging me for being white.

The few situations in which being white is a disadvantage…

I’m still an outsider, everywhere I go, and a citizen of the world.

This info may be needed to understand my mindset.

But I’m not upset anymore at this.

Nor am I at the Mexican government to charge me taxes on a 3rd computer I brought here with me, the other day, at the airport. I was pissed at the time it happened but was a brainless zombie after traveling more than 16 hours to get here, that’s another story.

But I’m not pissed, not anymore.

Nor am I at the two young employees at the Oxxo the other day for supposedly having frauded my wife’s card for 300pesos instead of 120, nor at her Bancoppel bank for having refused the transaction and charging my wife 200 more in the process.

No, I’m not.

As frustrating oneself leads to nowhere. It leads to self-harm, to death, to chaos. To stupid decisions. To more harm. To further digression. To a never-ending cycle of pain. I breathe the good stuff in and let that stuff out.

Anger never solved anything.
