Not a myth

Sir, — I disagree with the author of the article, `Myth of the Mother' (Nov. 23). Love and service symbolise the concept of motherhood. Sacrifice comes into the picture only because love demands it.

One can love without making sacrifices, but sacrifice is impossible without love.

Can the critics with millions in their kitty achieve even a fragment of what the Missionaries of Charity have?
