Light is information and energy. To a red blood cell this is represented by oxygen. The red blood cell instinctively understands that oxygen is good, because oxygen is its' source of life. A red blood cell does not reject oxygen out of "free will" and declare its' preference for nitrogen.
The natural behavior of the red blood cell is to absorb oxygen wherever it is encountered and to release oxygen to wherever there is a need. It does this by responding to calls from other cells.
In a healthy body, the red blood cells deliver oxygen only to those cells which it recognizes as self. To a red blood cell, love is the process by which it recognizes other cells as self, and it is geometrically represented through the structure of its cell membrane as the shape of a torus.
A red blood cell neither hordes oxygen for itself, nor indiscriminately delivers oxygen to cells that are working at cross-purposes to the body.
When a red blood cell can no longer maintain its true toroidal form, it can no longer accurately identify which others to release the oxygen to, and thus perform its' natural function. When this happens, the red blood cell is targeted for destruction by the spleen as it no longer has a purpose to exist.
