Always in writing... always in writing. Drummed into my head. I do have the "problem" of believing in people and thinking they will do the right thing. And then..... not so much.

You're right in that we always need it in writing to be safe. But sometimes the feeling of the sentiment gets lost in the written word. Like watching a play being performed is so different from reading the same play.

Or watching the movie of a book - completely different from reading the book. Guess that's why we have both.

Great post! XXXOOO ~T
