Mexican Proverb of the Day: “The graveyards are full of the clean and...” A lesson on moderation

Mexican Proverb of the Day: “The graveyards are full of the clean and the gluttonous” uses humour and striking imagery to warn against excess. The proverb places excessive cleanliness and overeating side by side to show that even behaviours generally considered beneficial can become harmful when taken too far. Its broader lesson is about moderation, balance and avoiding extremes in everyday life.
