The
principle that every
bad situation produces something good or teaches some lesson. It is derived from the fact that clouds, even though dark, often have bright silver
edges where the sun reflects.
Example:
2020 was a terrible year, but the
silver lining was I got to
do school from the comfort of home, finally wasn't constantly busy, got to play lots and lots of video games, and learned to appreciate
a normal world.

"Look for the
silver lining" is a suggestion that has been said so often it may appear trite to some. But it actually contains a very deep wisdom, that can help us all to get through difficulties.
"
Every cloud has a silver lining" means that every difficulty or
setback that causes harm, also contains a potential for a beneficent outcome. By searching for any positive effects of any difficulty or confusing circumstance, we can begin to feel more inner peace in response to the situation, thus regaining our ability to solve it if we can, or accept it if we can't.
Example:
I was so distraught that the
cyclone had ripped apart our house, and destroyed everything I owned, that I became
morose and helpless, unable to do anything. But I noticed that the entire neighborhood were all helping each other, talking to each other cheerfully, sympathetically, showing kindnesses and support in a way they never had before, and I began to recognize that there was a
silver lining even in this disaster!

Dream Theater's 10th studio album. Released on
June 22nd 2009.
BCSL is the best album since Scenes from a Memory. The 3 epics on the album are "A Nightmare to Remember", "The Best of Times", and "The Count of Tuscany". "The Shattered Fortress" sums up
Mike Portnoy AA suite. "Wither" and "A Rite of Passage" are OK, and they probably the only songs you will ever hear on the radio from this album.
