Mother's love for her child. Purest expression of love?

Question

When we love god without expecting anything in return, they say it is pure form of love. Is mothers love for her child the same?

Answer 1

I don't believe in unconditional love. God does expect certain things in return. I think the closest thing to unconditional love is a parent's love for their baby. They are too young to expect anything from. Of course certain needs have to be met for a parent to feel and act on that love. Seriously sleep deprived people can't feel that love, and can't act on it.

Answer 2

Wrong mothers love is so controlling and pathetic at times.Not pure they cry they try to make you feel guilty and they always want to controll you.Sometimes mothers love is sick and selfish.

Answer 3

but dont mothers expect certain things from their kids, like to be looked after when they are older in return for all they have done for them?

Answer 4

i believe it can be true, i can tell my mother loves me no matter what i do, she could still show me love, the day that i screamed at her.

it's called unconditional love

:)

and btw, do you mean When God loves us without expecting returns?

Answer 5
