Parents are considered the most selfishless in the world. I’d say, above all, nobody deserves our sincerest treatment more than our parents, even ourselves.But in the final analysis, parents’ love is selfish, too. What they call selfishless parental love refers to is that parents worry about their children, bustle about for their children for their whole life, devoting all they have to their children both spiritually and materially, yet not asking for any repayment; and these will not come to an end until parents pass away. To analyze it at great length, we will find the kind of giving, in fact, not really selishless. Children is the spiritual sustenance of parents; intentionally or unconsciously parents will regard children as the extention of their life, and the ultimate purpose of their self-giving material and spiritual offer is to subconsciously get the balance in spirit from the fact that their son is alive or alive and well, because the exsistence and the achievement of their son can continuously pass on to them the sense of happiness, which is all they want. As regards why human have emotional demand like that, probably it is the result of natural selection (will talk about it hereinafter). Moreover, in the ages when human terribly lack of material, we may say it is normal that parents sell their children, for at the time the reason to survive is stronger than the spiritual demand.
