We are living in a time where we are in a constant rush,
constantly barreling forward just to keep ahead. When something fun
comes along we seem to be drawn to it like a powerful magnet, whether we are 18
or 80 we all want to bring more fun and laughter back into our
lives. We are all living through an age of extreme stress, our
workloads are excessive but unfortunately this is now the norm and not the
exception. We have come to accept our over stressed existence and our excessive
workload as interchangeable words for where we once used the word
life. What little spare time we find during our day we dream of
filling it with fun and relaxation. However, there is an inner consciousness
within all of us which thinks beyond our own pleasures. We see other
living entities, whether it is a family struggling through the sickness of a
child or a puppy beaten and discarded, our hearts cry out for
them. A charity fills our hearts and we place aside our own
dreams. We want to correct the suffering and the injustice we see as
we scan the world around us. To be able to stop the suffering for
even one person or one animal would indeed be an act of great
charity. Fun and charity are two words generally seen at
diametrically opposite ends. However, Hot Shot Times is bringing
both of these words FUN and CHARITY into the centre.
