Most people love receiving invitations. To a party. A meal. A wedding. A celebration. A special event. It\\u2019s nice to be included- to feel part of something\\u2026because many Americans are truly lonely. We live in a lonely society. That\\u2019s why Mother Theresa is right when she famously said: \\u2018The greatest disease today is not starvation but loneliness.\\u2019 Loneliness is one of the greatest ills of 21st Century.

Because people have an innate, built in, deep longing to belong. People want to be included. They want to be invited.
