Saying of the Week
Every Cloud has a Silver Lining
This is a very powerful saying. In English we use weather terms to express emotion. The sun represents happiness and rain represents sadness. So, if there are clear, blue skies you don't have any troubles, but if it's cloudy and raining life is full of sorrow. You'll hear these images sung in many songs. Of course, when the cloud and rain drift away, the sun comes out and everything is fine again.
"Every Cloud has a Silver Lining" tells us that no matter how bad things may get or seem, inside that cloud, in the lining of that cloud, is something good that can help you in the future. Behind every problem lies an opportunity.
And in my experience, it's absolutely true. Sometimes, we need those storm clouds to come along. We need a change in our lives, good or bad, to wake us up and get us moving again. Life would be dull and boring otherwise. For the sun needs the clouds, just as the clouds need the sun.
