The parable of the Onion

“Once upon a time there was a woman, and she was wicked as wicked could be, and she died. And not one good deed was left behind her. The devils took her and threw her into the lake of fire. And her guardian angel stood thinking: what good deed of hers can I remember to tell God? Then he remembered and said to God: once she pulled up an onion and gave it to a beggar woman. And God answered: take now that same onion, hold it out to her in the lake, let her take hold of it and pull, and if you pull her out of the lake, she can go to paradise. The angel ran to the woman and held out the onion to her: here, woman, he said, take hold of it and I’ll pull. And he began pulling carefully, and had almost pulled her all of the way out, when other sinners in the lake saw her being pulled out and all began holding on to her so as to be pulled out with her. But the woman was wicked as wicked could be, and she began to kick them with her feet: ‘It’s me who’s getting pulled out, not you; it’s my onion, not yours.’ No sooner did she say it than the onion broke. And the woman fell back into the lake and is burning there to this day. And the angel wept and went away.”

So you’re saying if she stayed still & let him pull out slowly she would have found paradise?

Certainly not a biblical parable of salvation

In terms of one's spiritual path, you have to be committed to the salvation -- not just of yourself -- but all people. You have to love -- you have to desire to save -- everyone.
The sinners who latch on would have been saved if it weren't for the woman's selfishness. That is, one's selfishness doesn't just damn the actor; it damns others.

Given enough distance, everything becomes a punchline.
In 100 years, they'll be cracking 9-11 jokes.
