Greetings everyone here. Welcome to another featured topic contest for the week.

Why people cheat?

It is because of unsatisfaction and lust for money, power and other things.

Life is full of vicissitude. Therefore, I have felt cheated before on several occasions, and the hurt used to be unsurmountable. I used to be pained when I'm in this situation. As long as we are human beings, we would always feel cheated in one way or the other. It could be in business, relationships, school, office, marketplace, finance, and other things pertaining to life.

I have felt cheated in business. There is this business I venture into, and we made an agreement on something, I went on with the business hoping that, at the end, my share will be done. Unfortunately, the plan failed and everything went chatter and I couldn't continue. This was how, I felt cheated in that ordeal. It gave me an experience of not encountering such business again.

Just of recent, I felt cheated at school by one of the guys that I usually pay my school fees to. I have mistaken did not register for my courses and unfortunately, the closed the portals and I couldn't meet. All my hope, the gentleman registered for my courses at once for me when I paid my fees to him.

That semester past and the portal closed. I asked him what will happen. He said, 'automatic carry over' I was shocked to the point I was unable to hold myself, urine almost came out of me. I felt like, shouting and working naked in the campus. I angrily left him, and he called me back to tell me the way out. He asked me to pay the sum of 15 thousand Naira. I didn't have any money left in my account, I had to hesitate for my brother's help. Thank God, my brother sent in the money and I used it to sort out the issue. The issue was sorted out, but within, I felt this person was cheating on me. The money was too much. Hmm, God dey.

I have felt cheated in relationships, with both male and female friends. Let me be real here. My first time of being in a relationship with a man, that was in my year one, this gentleman cheated on me, and I was heart broken. That was my first experience of being cheated by a man. I saw things. I pledge to myself, that a man will never break my heart again. And since then, I never will be in a serious relationship with a man. My plan now, is to settle down with my husband.

Even married men do cheat on their women, and married women do the same to their husbands. What will I not see in this life? Husbands can't stay Faithful and wives too. It is only God that will help us. This world is sweet and bitter. Our character makes it the way it is today.

If we want to enjoy this life to the fullest, let's put out our old character and put on our new character. Then, this life will be sweet and enjoyable. Cheating of any kind won't be found in our dictionary or vocabulary.

How did I let go of the hurt?

• Forgiveness is one of the key factors of letting go of the past. Forgiving the person in question and relieving of yourself the hurt. So, it will not damage your heart. Your heart is the center of precious things, so you have to handle with care. The intent of your heart matters, so you won't settle for evil. Forgive and move on.

In conclusion, whenever I feel cheated I used to feel bad, and I have to let go of the hurt, so it will not alter my happiness and joy in my heart.
