Veteran Taiwanese entertainer Bai Bingbing has adopted a more philosophical outlook on life, choosing to disregard malicious online attacks. She stated that as she has aged, her personal cultivation has increased, leading her to believe that those who are stronger than her have no time to bother with her. Conversely, she feels that those who are less accomplished or bored are the ones who engage in "baseless and malicious" gossip.
As I grow older, my cultivation has also increased. Those who are stronger than me have no time to bother with me; those who are inferior to me will be bored talking about others behind their backs.
"People who are inferior to me will be bored talking about others behind their backs," Bai Bingbing wrote on Facebook. She views such jealousy as a form of admiration, suggesting that those who attack her are, in a way, looking up to her. She also believes that a sign of maturity is becoming less prone to anger, as one's priorities shift and fewer things become significant enough to warrant distress.
Jealousy itself is a form of looking up.
"What I couldn't forgive before, I now let go," she explained, comparing negativity to dust that can be brushed away without hindering progress. This perspective allows her to focus on her forward momentum rather than dwelling on past grievances or present criticisms.
A sign of maturity is becoming less prone to anger, because fewer things matter to you.
Facing continued verbal attacks, Bai Bingbing expressed her desire to dedicate her remaining years to cherished experiences and living with sincerity and kindness. "I wish my life to be fulfilling, sincere, and kind, with all joys and sorrows needing no pretense," she stated, signaling a commitment to authenticity and inner peace over external validation or conflict.
What I couldn't forgive before, I now let go. Dust falling on the body, just gently brush it away. It won't hinder my steps forward.
