I agree with you.

I have found that the beauty of the temporary nature of everything (especially when considered in enormous time scales) highlights the beauty of the here and now.. and the need to enjoy it. In fact, while some say not to think of the future and stay in the present, sometimes I find that imagining far into the future is precisely what brings me back to the importance of and focus on the present.

Also, there's a feeling of pure awe I get when trying to imagine the unimaginable scale of the future (for us at least). It's a specific sensation.. I am not even sure awe is the right word to describe it.
