We jammin’ is an exaltation of the feelings felt when resisting your oppressors. No bullet can stop us now; we won’t beg; we won’t bow. It’s also a prayer to the highest power that he give them the strength to keep on resisting and holding their heads high. Finally, it’s a call for love to bring everyone together to exalt in their resistance.
Also, don’t call me mentally ill. I am giving you my honest take and if you disagree fine but there isn’t anything wrong with disagreeing with someone. Unless you’re an asshole.
Oh, my wife tells me I’m not an asshole but I am likely to say things an asshole would say. I’m more than a little empathy deficient. Don’t have much in the way of complex emotions.
For your part, I like your take on Jammin’.
Lastly, needing help seeing your way through things does not mean you are sick, but if you can’t hear the joy in any of Marley’s music, I just don’t know.
I think a lot joy comes from catharsis. Modest Mouse has a verse “And if it takes shit to make bliss; well I feel pretty blissfully.” I suspect, and maybe Marley has said this, the joy he sings about comes from struggles he was able to overcome and find himself.
As someone who is always personally mourning because of depression, anxiety, etc. I feel a lot of the same things Marley sings about. Listen to ‘coming in from the cold’ sometime and think about what it means to be nothing and having life thrust upon you.

I was outdoors for several months about 25 years ago. Even summer nights are cold when it’s raining.
