That's an interesting point. We all tell people things they want to hear, need to hear. But how often is too often though? Can you tell someone you love them, and do it all the time, and not have the words lose some of their meaning? If they expect to hear it, get used to hearing it, they get affected when they don't. Do people need to be told how you feel all the time or shouldn't they just already know? Isn't it better to show them how you feel by doing something loving? Even the tiniest of things can mean more than all the words that can come from the mouth. They say that actions speak louder than words. Sometimes I like what they say.
^^ Good point, but I'd say that words spoken or written to someone are far more powerful than actions if your words are true. And it is by your actions that the receiver knows whether the words are true - or hypocritical. Proclaim truth to someone and it can become their truth too!

Alittle speaking with lots of action I think is good
