I don't understand the definitions of karass and granfalloon. What do they have to do with God's will? I'd say a karass is a set of people with a characteristic propetry in opposition to a granfalloon which is just a meaningless arbitrary set of people.
- Here's how it is described at http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=karass - "A group of people linked in a cosmically significant manner, even when superficial linkages are not evident." If I remember correctly (it's been a long time since I read the book) the people in the karass find themselves sometimes acting out of their ordinary character, yet in concert to accomplish a goal; a goal unknown to any of the members of the karass (that's what makes it "God's will"). You hang out with a certain bunch, but can't really figure out why that particular group is "right" for you, but you feel good about it nonetheless. - Bevo 22:40, 19 Apr 2004 (UTC)
