Rastafari has a strong basis in the Honorable Marcus Mosaih Garvey's teachings and the Back to Afraka movement. The Back to Afraka movement implies that you have a direct connection to Afraka (a.k.a are Black) and are therefore returning to your original home/Motherland/whatever you want to call it.

What is life" Life is a chance-not a certainty, just a chance-to do some good for others, to create some beauty of what is at hand. Death is a certainty, life is a chance. How fat or slim our chances are, that is left to luck and circumstance. What we do with our chance, that is up to us.-Kalamu Ya Salaam "What is Life?"
