I agree with the proverb because There is no problem without solution hence no living thing live for ever therefore every matter can be laid to rest it just left with the individuals involved approach towards the problem but having this thought in mind will alleviate you research hard to find that solution.
Here was a man who encounter a quarrel with an old woman the man molested the old woman because the old woman simply step on his shining shoes mistakenly the man got exasperated the old woman said son I didn't mean to step on your shoes please spare me and accept my apology the man hiss at the old woman the old woman said young man I don't think I deserve all this molestation but still still God is my witness and God will decide if I deserve all this from you.
The next day the man wake up he has lost his eyesight he went to hospital the doctor told him that your eyesight is badly damage you can't see again the cried emotionally.
After a three month a friend visit him and met him on this condition and he ask him what happen to your eyesight he explain to his friend sorrowfully crying while explaining that the doctor said he can never ever see with his eyes again.
After a long pose his friend look at him and smile and said my friend you only went to only one doctor and you totally agreed with him don't you know that "in every cloud there is a silver lining"every problem there is a solution.
After that his friend took him to one powerful spiritual leader he prayed for them and he had a vision he ask the blindman have you ever molest an old woman before the blindman quickly replied yes the iman said to him go and apologise to that old woman the blindman and his friend went luckily they just met the old woman was about to go out the blindman and his friend went on their knee to forgive him the old woman recognize the blindman and my son I have forgive you as the blindman and his friend were about to stand up the blindman shouted I can see! They both went home joyfully thanking his friend and said to him stressfully indeed my friend every cloud there is a silver lining.

Every bad situation has some good aspect to it. This proverb is usually said as an encouragement to a person who is overcome by some difficulty and is unable to see any positive way forward. Every cloud has a silver lining means that you should never feel hopeless because difficult times always lead to better days. Difficult times are like dark clouds that pass overhead and block the sun. When we look more closely at the edges of every cloud we can see the sun shining there like a silver lining. Looking at the positive side of things even when difficult times are present. When trying to cheer someone up who is feeling down, someone might use this phrase, then follow it up by saying something positive Thick and dark clouds sometimes obstruct the sun. When it happens, the surroundings darken. It is not a pleasant sight. But if we look at the clouds carefully we can see that their edges are tinted with a silvery glow. This glow tells us that the sun is somewhere there behind the clouds.
As time passes, the clouds will move off and the sun will come out of it. This clever metaphor is used in the proverb to denote that sorrows and calamities are only momentary. Wherever there is sorrow, happiness will be somewhere nearby. Whenever there is shadow, light should be nearby. And whenever there is darkness, the bright light is near.
The proverb teaches us not to lose hope in the hours of darkness and sorrow. It reminds us to be optimistic and hopeful. It tells us not to lose heart because it might be just when we are about to quit that victory reveals itself. Like the silver tint on the edges of the dark cloud, happiness always lurks behind the darkest hour. At the end, I want to say if there is darkness in your life, the sunshine is all behind you.

Yes, I agree with the proverb that every cloud has a silver lining because everyone have different ability and concept to change the world. But one major drawback of Indian citizens that they believe to become the path followers not creators. They blindly follow the path of the successful people without being aware of that that everyone has different field of interest and if they start working in their field of interest, they will surely achieve the exalted height of success in their life. Everyone in this universe have some special potential to do something different, something dynamic but the most vindictive thing in the path of Indian citizen to do something extraordinary is that they lack moral values and self-confidence and it is just because of our education system. To be honest, Our education is only marks oriented. Indian parents also give more emphasis on marks rather than kids field on interest. So, how someone can prove their skills in the field of their interest. I just want to say one thing that Indian youth should take the Initiative to change the Indian mindset towards the education and government should also change the protocol of Indian education. Foreign countries like the USA, China are one of the developed countries because of their education system. They provide platform in every field whether it is for dance, singing, photography engg, medical etc. Even they respect students belonging to different fields and they never differentiate kids according to their marks, status and of course, their education field like our INDIAN people do. So, firstly we have to change our mindset, and appreciate kids of every field and motivate them.

I completely agree with this proverb. A great proverb with a deep mining. If a thunder storm appears then the sky will get covered by dark clouds, there will be heavy shower. But it is temporary, not permanent. The sky will be cleaned and the sun will rise.
Clouds means difficult phases in our life and silver lining are rays of hopes. If we face problems then there will be solution as well. It's on us to remain calm and gain physical and mental power to handle the situation. If you don't have failure in your life and you will never be able to understand how it feels when you achieve success.
There are many such examples - like APJ Abdul Kalam, Dhirubhai Ambani, even when you see in past you will find many such personality like Thomas Edison who failed 1000 times before actually inventing an electric bulb, Walt Disney who had once fired because they think he had lack of imagination.
If you are difficult situation face it but never back down, work hard, learn from your mistake, never make them again, and find your goal. So it is true that every cloud has a silver lining.
Conclusion : Life is not about getting only success it's actually about learning from your failure. Everything happens for a good reason we just need to work hard and stay positive.

A human being is an Abstract part of the nature, who is perfect, polished, dedicated. But the problem is he never find himself as positive/negative because he is quite busy to find and judge the other's attitudes. I want to tell about that how to make visible to the silver lining behind the clouds.
Meditation is all about to know ourselves deeply. The door is "Closing Eyes", Lock is "Our thinking", and Key is Meditation. Silver Lining is our Attitude behind the cloud and Cloud is only Brain. We should not wait for the Gurus and Guides, should rather begin our target after executing meditation, it will make our wings unlock without any extra weight.
We all have the qualities, supremacy and imaginations but the problem is, we never want it to be executed. We should marching forward to our goal through all the required activities which will just comprehend us that who we are. Yes I am talking about to close your eyes and see yourself, feel yourself and just do it. Because we can not see the silver lining behind the cloud until or unless sun makes effort to formulate it visible. Just be like the "SUN" and then you will find silver lining in yourself.
Thanks a lot.

Idiom -every cloud has a silver lining" says ever in the worst scenario, we have hope possibilities potential benefits of in its own way. As some you will feel that the job/work you are doesn't pay you back it should but you know maybe your salary is less today you still experiences in your hand Right and you know how much experience matters. If we take today's example whole nation is suffering from the covid-19 pandemic things started getting worse day by day Especially in India but has any of you analyzed the sky has got its color Blueback at night we can see the star's again, the air is clean, pollution has controlled, water quality has improved. The atmosphere is healing.
Most importantly our loved ones our back to home my sister your brother's parents etc have got to sit at home and happy moments with family, siblings, pets. People who were just working day-night and had no time to sit are having Netflix and chill what else we can have.
I hope the concept of 'silver lining' in the cloud is clear to you all. Thank love and peace from NISHTHA.

Every cloud has a silver lining. It's a true saying because obviously if a situation comes it either leads us towards our goals or guides us in every form. As life is a combination of both happiness and odds, one should never feel bad if hard time comes rather they should strengthen themselves giving themselves positive vibes. If we enjoy the good things that come in our life then we should be strong enough to accept it as we know that every situation in life is given to us by god.
If we would not experience the sorrow then we can never learn to appreciate or enjoy the pleasure given to us in this life. Everyone around the earth is suffering from various kinds of problems. For one, the grass is always greener on the other side. For every individual their problem is the biggest of all, their sufferings are never ending. Nothing is impossible if we have the courage, high hopes and belief that - everything happens for a reason. If not today, tomorrow will be the day you will refer as the best day of your life. :).

This is really a very true statement, that every cloud has a silver lining. This means, every difficult situation has some advantage.
Life is a circle of happiness, sadness, hard times, and good times. If you are going through hard times have faith that good times are on the way.
The difficult situations are like the dark clouds but they will be surely swept away by the rays of hope which appear as the silver lining. Never give up if life gives you 100 problems show life that you have 1000 solutions. Just keep on working hard, learn from your obstacles don't be afraid of them. One day you will reach the height of success. After crossing so many hurdles when you will reach your goal you will enjoy it better.
We can take the example of our great superstar 'khan'. Now he has all the luxuries. As he had the perseverance to reach towards his goal. So always be optimistic. Appreciate the brighter days and learn from the darker days. Keep smiling.

Hello everyone, this is Manasa and I truly support this statement everyone cloud has a silver line. Firstly, we have to know what is the inner meaning of this statement? and the statement defines every cloud which means every person has silver line means some special quality in his/her.
Life is nothing but up's and downs which means for every person in his/her entire life had to face failures at the same time success also. But in failure times some people never move on to further step and on that time friends and family have to encourage and motivate them. In failure times also we have to show our confidence and problem-solving nature. Instead of feeling shy and sad, we have to think about it by questioning yourselves what are steps I have to take to solve that problem? and what I have to do? like.
So finally I concluded that we should never loose our confidence and hardworking nature.
Thank you all for giving me this opportunity.
