ALL MEN CHEAT

  The title wasn't my speech. I was on my own trying to mind my business and my overactive ears picked up a conversation tables away.
  The lady was in tears, telling her friends about how she had caught her guy cheating; she'd found explicit chats and what not between him and other girls.

The people he had counted on; the friends, aunties and uncles had let him down. Femi was distraught. His dream was dying before his eyes. One day,

 "We hope for the best."
 "All we can do is hope."
 "There is nothing we can do but hope and pray."

 What then is your definition of Hope?

 ‘To have a wish to get or do something or for something to happen or be true, especially something that seems possible or likely.’

  Should you keep waiting for a wish to get or
