The aphorism, “Agua que no has de beber dejala correr”, originated in Spain but has now expanded to being used throughout all Latin American. Most of the aphorisms from Mexico derive from the Spanish culture. The aphorism of, “Agua que no has de beber dejala correr”, would translate to, “Water that you do not have to drink, let it run”. The meaning of this aphorism is if something doesn’t involve you, or deal with you, it is best to not get involved and leave the situation alone. Though to me it just simply means to not go around looking for trouble.
Though this aphorism isn’t as known, or said as often as some of the others, the first time I ever heard it came from my mom about 2 years ago. One day, I was going to go to the mall with my cousins
