Sometimes I stand in the sun and feel it as hot as a nearby oven on my skin. Then I consider that I'm receiving about 1e-24 of its radiant energy. I don't blame our ancestors!
It's truly awe inspiring to know how inconceivably huge and far away the Sun is, yet it we can feel it's warmth, admire how it's light touches everything we see, and how it's responsible for all life on Earth. I love our star :)
