The Second Conditional


I sometimes wonder what it would be like if I were a very tall tree (in English grammar, that sentence is called the Second Conditional). Being tall, I would have the omniscient ability to see everything around me, every inch of the horizon. I've never been a very tall person, so this might be something rather exciting for me. I would have eagles flying around me, and clouds just barely touching the tips of my leaves. I imagine I would feel feel utterly divine and somewhat Godly at some point. It would be a subliminal experience...


But what good would all this omniscience do if all I could do was be omniscient and nothing else?
