It's a tradeoff. If you want truly secure passwords, something like LastPass is great for helping you out, as we could never possibly remember those passwords, nor remember the different passwords used everywhere.
If you don't want your passwords written down somewhere, then you might be better off remembering them. But LastPass stores your passwords in an encrypted file, and the only one who ever sees the decrypted data is you, and you choose the key used for encrypting and decrypting your file.
If someone is specifically targetting your passwords, there might be a risk if they can get the file from your computer. But the encryption used by LastPass is hard to break, so unless they get your masterpassword (which is the one you shouldn't be writing down of course), using LastPass shouldn't be any more unsecure with regards to hackers then trying to remember your passwords by yourself.
So it's a tradeoff. Do you want more security if people try to steal your passwords, or do you want more secure passwords?
