    The Buddhist monk didn’t keep staying in the news for 20 years either. The world moves on. They want new stuff every day.

    Global attention for a cause for (more than) a day achieved by a single person absolutely extraordinary.

      Oh you mean the monk who set himself on fire in 1963? And totally stopped the Vietnam war by 1973.
