Let's Have a Little Chat, How Bouts?

I proposed this question to N/A a couple days ago (while successfully evading actually answering it myself), and he's been chewing on his answer ever since.

Since it's a great question (which I actually stumbled across when reading an essay about No Country for Old Men in the book The Philosophy of the Coen Brothers), I propose it to all of you.

Feel free to ramble on as you see fit in my comments section...


Is there a rule that we can follow and, in following it,
be brought to a place where we can affirm our whole life?
