Megaliths and Stonehenge

My very first paper in my very first university class could have been the most traumatizing experience of my entire life. I made some wild claims, didn't back my argument up with evidence, used wikipedia (the horror) and the worst part of all was that I was trying to relate a 16th century mural to a piece done by Jackson Pollock. It's ok you can laugh, my professor did. My entire argument was based around the color palette both artists were using and how that related to their state of mind, blah, blah, blah. When I got the paper back my professor had written "Well that was a stretch and a half" in rather large soul crushing letters.

My point is that I got excited about a subject I was passionate about and tried to relate things that didn't necessarily go together, but I forced it because I wanted them to. 

I feel like Ramilisonina is kind of pulling a first-year-got-a-little-too-excited in his argument. 

Yes, I understand that it is exciting that wood equates life and stone death in both cultures. Though I also feel like this isn't so much a connection as it is a happy coincidence, much like Pollock using the same palette as 16th century french painter. Not backing his argument with some concrete evidence makes it hard to understand how he can say these two things are connected with such bravado. 

All of us get excited when we see a connection in our head, but sometimes that is where it should stay instead of being presented. Sometimes it is best to just have a private moment in your own head and smile to yourself about a connection you made. 

Then there are those times you can say screw it and let the crazy out because who ever made discoveries playing it safe? 

You go Radilisonina, make your claims! If nothing else they are fun to read about.
