What is it? There is no evil that does not come with good:
“There is no evil that does not come for good” is a saying that seeks to send an optimistic message in the face of those situations that, in principle, are not good but that, in the future, can generate positive results.
This is an old saying, from oral sources and widely used by people in general. “There is no evil that does not come with good” can be applied in various situations in which you do not obtain what you want the first time, which is why it generates the idea of misfortune or misfortune.
In these cases, “everything has a silver lining” can even be used as a phrase of consolation to prepare and continue working to achieve the desired goal without losing optimism. That is to say, the best is yet to come, this as part of regaining enthusiasm.
Therefore, some misfortunes can turn into good news or achievements that are even greater than initially thought, generally because later a better opportunity appears or circumstances are taken into account that had not been considered before and that could generate difficulties in the future.
For example, “Luis had a job interview yesterday for which he felt very optimistic but, unfortunately, he was not given the position. But, Every cloud has a silver lining, In the afternoon he received a call about another job offer and, before the end of the day, he went for the interview. She had better luck, they gave her the position and better job benefits.”
However, it is worth noting that in some cases the saying “there is no silver lining” can cause confusion. It is not about pointing out that every evil produces good, on the contrary, what we want to express is that better things can emerge from bad things.
Some proverbs that serve as synonyms for “everything goes wrong” may be the following: “When one door closes, another opens”; “For one that is lost, ten appear.”
In English it translates as, Every cloud has a silver lining.
