Example...1
Q: are humans male or female?
A: the answer lies in the tension of both that creates the dynamic that is human..
Example...2
I have a dog who is a mate.
I have killed dogs.
How did killing those dogs make you feel?
Q: Which person is me?
A: Both are me given different circumstances.
Which feeling did you prefer?
Both are your actions... So that's a mirror of what's it your heart...
but would you prefer the feeling of your dog snuggling with you... Or the feeling your had while, before, or after killing said Dogs...
It was not about how I felt but what was necessary at the time.
Love is not a feeling but an action that sometimes requires killing however bad it might feel.

I didn't say it was about love... but how you feel has everything to do with it... the heart doesn't lie... it aches when we do wrong...
IF it was necessary that is a different story though...
Now... can you imagine any circumstance where you could see yourself killing a child?
Or your dog perhaps?

How does blood save anyone?
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
-- Genesis 2:7
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
-- Genesis 9:3
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
-- Genesis 9:4
Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
-- Leviticus 7:26
Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
-- Leviticus 7:27
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any
beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
-- Leviticus 17:11-14
Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
-- Ecclesiastes 12:6
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
-- Ecclesiastes 12:7

This answers the question...
"Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same nature, that through death he might destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage." Hebrews 2:14-15
Matthew 9
13 But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

This is why they bleed the animal before they eat it.
"you must not eat the life with the meat (food)"
That quote takes one to the passages , found throughout the Bible , which 'hint' at this mistake.
They know they cannot eat blood but rather than abstain from eating meat , they bleed the animal.
