I equate the aptitude of rastafarianism to that of the mental objective of Buddhists. I guess you can call it a religion like people call "Buddhism" a religion. It's simply a way of thinking or living that you try to hold true to, minus the diety and supposed
universal truths. "Evra'tings gun'a be a'right." Optimism in its greatest light. People laugh at this sort've thing because they don't understand and are simply unable to relate to a non-conflicted environment. Too many people thrive on
chaos and destruction. Death and despair. A lot of people link rastafarianism to smoking marijuana. The two are separate and related. You don't have to smoke weed to practice rasta. You don't have to be rasta, to smoke weed -- though you tend to get into that state of mind when you do, lol.
