我們曾聽聞在墨西哥，墳場的設計是很特別的。墨西哥的墳場，分為前後兩個區域。前面區域的進口，門檻上面寫：「死人的墳墓」。這個很容易理解。不過，墳場 的後面再有另一個區域，用另一面牆分隔開來，上面寫：「真正死了的人的墳墓」。究竟這前、後兩個部份有甚麼分別？原來有這樣的一個規定：如果一個人死了， 就會把他∕她的屍骨埋葬在前面的區域——「死人的墳墓」。但是，如果那管理墳場的人發現，某一個墳墓連續五年以上沒有人去看過、拜祭過、打掃過，就會把骸 骨搬到後面的那個區域——「真正死了的人的墳墓」。我覺得這種規矩和安排有很深長的意思：只要仍然有人記得起你，你在其他活着的人的生命中仍然留有痕跡的 話，你是未死的。那些活著只為自己的人，從來沒有對他人的生命付出過、留下痕跡，才是「真正的死了」。
