Brightside
The positive angle
The brightside—usually the bright side—is the optimistic perspective on a situation, the positive aspect amid difficulty: Look on the bright side: at least we still have jobs.
To see the bright side is to find hope or advantage where others see only trouble.
The compound form appears in song titles and as a place name.
