Unconditional Love / Motherly Love

Motherly love by its very nature is unconditional. Mother loves the newborn infant
because it is her child, not because the child has fulfilled any specific condition, or
lived up to any specific expectations. Unconditional love corresponds to one of the
deepest longings, not only of the child, but also of every human being. On the
other hand, to be loved because of one's merit or because one deserves it, always
leaves doubt and there is always a fear that love could disappear. Furthermore
deserved love easily leaves a bitter feeling that one is not loved for himself but is
loved only because he pleases, and that he is not loved at all but used. No wonder
that we cling to the longing for motherly love, as children and also as adults.

A) a child has to earn such love
