How it's used
Describes a person who possesses a broad perspective and refuses to let negative experiences weigh them down. It implies a sense of maturity and emotional resilience that goes beyond simple cheerfulness. People described this way are often seen as easy to get along with because they rarely hold grudges or obsess over minor grievances.
Examples
He is very open-minded and won't get angry over such trivial things.

Do not confuse this with 開心, which simply means happy. Being happy is often a temporary emotional state, whereas being 豁達 is a stable, long-term personality trait.
