Is a mother's love selfless

Is a mother's love selfless? Obviously let me elaborate this question. This question has daunted me several times and everytime I have come to the same conclusion. The conclusion is "No. A mother' s love is not selfless, but a selfish one."

We all like something that we have. We like the computer we own and use it, though it may not be superior to our neighbours. So, here is the trace of selfishness. We like it because it ours...

The love of a mother originates on a baby because it is "HER" baby. Since it belongs to her and since it is part of her, that powerful love emerges on the baby. Its not un-common to see that when a mother has to decide between her baby and her spouse, she will always be on the side of her baby, because it is her baby and her spouse is someone else's baby. Also, the same mother will not have such a love on any baby which is not hers. This we can see everywhere around us. In most families a daughter-in-law is a daugher"-in-law" only can never can be a daughter.

Hmmm... Just thought of writing something... So wrote about this question, which quite often comes to my mind... That a mother's love is as pure as milk... But even these days even milk is not pure...

From all this I have to conclude that a mother's love is not selfless.
