#karass — Public Fediverse posts

If you know Vonnegut, perhaps you know the concept of a karass. Tonight I saw a lot of old co-workers, people who were there when I started a new chapter of my life, and them as well. There was a lot of mutual understanding that we had some kind of special chemistry together. I think that was a karass. And now that the last one has left the company, I still had no trouble saying see you next time. We will see each other again. We are a karass.

They're
coming...
cautiously,
but they're coming.
Try to stay quiet as you hide yourself.

.> ZINN: I think your coming here does that. Not only your writing does that but your coming here and us listening to you and knowing that we are part of a 'carass'. Have any you have read Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle? Kurt Vonnegut is remarkable?this remarkable, interesting, odd mind. In Cat's Cradle he talks about a 'carass'. A carass is when people feel an affinity with one another. They don't know exactly why but it crosses all lines. It crosses national, racial, sexual... it crosses all lines. That's what we depend on.
