Exhortation may come from a letter
written to us. I can never and will never criticise the modern methods of communication.
Surely it is a healthy sign of humanity’s desire to communicate. Walls come
down and misunderstandings can be erased through good communication. Giving and
receiving communicated expectation is a wonderful and joyful thing to do.
