YOU CANNOT REFUSE TO RUN ...

I've already copied this in various places I'm sure, but every time I read it, it gives me somehow the same shiver .. as some deep words do ..

YOU CANNOT REFUSE TO RUN ...

You are a guardian of the seeds of the world to come.
All that has gone before and all that is yet to come, is within you.
Through you passes humanity's saving fire.
You are running in a relay.
This is the moment you have been chosen to hold the torch.

YOU CANNOT REFUSE TO RUN ...
