To kill also means to be killed. By taking "the others" out of the game, we deprived ourselves of the possibility of becoming prey, of accepting this as a natural result of our animal-human sensibility - instead of denying it.

Going on a boat trip without accepting the possibility of drowning is like trying to create a life without illness. To surrender to death and at the same time to fear it need not be a contradiction if at the moment of happening neither the one nor the other can be prevented.

Since it is the case that neither the one nor the other can be prevented, questions about the meaning of existence are pointless. Therefore, explicit rules are a contradiction, a double bind, causing endless confusion and frustration, a torment this makes life.

Implicit rules, on the other hand, are not something to argue about, they are the unspoken elements in the whole. What a situation implies is so much richer than what it is explicitly capable of expressing.
