"Women always stand for all of humanity, since we have created everybody from scratch; there are only two kinds of people on Earth, the mothers and her children. This is why the Madonna with child is essentially the symbol of our human race. This is the image that occurs in every culture over and over again." - Z. Budapest - http://blog.zbudapest.com/tag/goddess-z-budapest/
This occurs in Buddhist culture which has a mother's unconditional love sutra, the Karaniya Metta Sutta:
As a mother would risk her life
to protect her child, her only child,
even so should one cultivate a limitless heart
with regard to all beings.
