"If you find your life tangled up with somebody else's life for no very logical reasons that person may be a member of your karass. Likes and dislikes have nothing to do with it."

What's a karass?

Oh, they were playing the Smiths in the shop I got told off in yesterday hehe. And Faithless Street is very very good.

A karass is a "team [of people] that do[es] God's Will without ever discovering what they are doing". Humanity is organized into many such teams. One can try to discover "the limits of [one's] karass and the nature of the work God Almighty has had it do ... but such investigations are bound to be incomplete.

It's the religion from Kurt Vonnegut's Cat Cradle. I think its the only religion thats made sense to me.

And I'm glad you like the Smith(or are at least recognizing them) and that you like Faithless St.

That sounds interesting. I shall hunt down that book and see whether I can learn something!

And yes, I do like the Smiths! I've got their greatest hits, just none of the albums. Soon though, soon!
