This is good advice, but is there a point where people can cross a line? After all, we doubt that if Chigurh stood up and said he was sorry, Bell would suddenly see him as a paragon of moral virtue.

This conversation between Chigurh and a drug lord isn't actually about old people; it's about the people who used to do this job. And by "other things," Chigurh probably means death. But these same phrases could apply to old wrinkly folks, too. They've died or given up. Either way, they have moved on.

This is one of those socially annoying ways of saying "you look tired." Bell is old and tired, though, so it's an accurate assessment. As stressful as his job is, he probably looks much older than he actually is right now.

One choice leads to another, which leads to another, and another, and often, these choices all lead in the same direction. You rarely take a U-turn. It may even be impossible to make a full U-turn. Bell made a choice that left him with a sense of guilt. By choosing not to talk about it, though, he lets that guilt just build up.

Here, Bell does take that U-turn in attempt to undo some of his past choices. He confesses his bad choice, and he gets support from his uncle. Some choices are had, but we have to make them. This is the first step Bell takes to atoning for his choice. Is it ever too late to start that journey?

Bell has reached a point in his life when he regrets some of his big choices, so he has to try and ignore them. He has to choose to not think about his choices. Is that even possible?
