Is it possible for the centre to hold for much longer

French philosopher, playwright, novelist  and a key figure in existentialism, Jean-Paul Sartre (1905 - 1980) wrote about existentialism:

“The word is now so loosely applied to so many things that it no longer means anything at all.”

If you inserted the letter l in word, how would it look?

“The world is now so loosely applied to so many things that it no longer means anything at all.”

Does it say something about the times in which we are living.

What does anything mean in our world today?

An example; last week US bishops Robert Barron said that the school/church shooting  in the US was an anti-Catholic attack. Why did the bishop say that?

Did the bishop ask might it be possible that the shooter had mental problems. The bishop's rush to social media says something about the bishop and indeed about social media too.

Is it possible with all that is happening  that the centre can manage to hold
