What does it mean saying i dont see a silver lining?
Well the phrase comes from the saying "Every cloud has a silver lining" which means every problem (the cloud) has something good from it (the silver lining) so basically that person is saying you dont look at the good side of bad things
What is the origin of the phrase 'silver lining'?
I am aware of the literary example in Milton's Comus but there must have been an original meaning he borrowed when he wrote Comus. This phrase originated during the American Civil War. Today this phrase is one of hope and optimism-i.e. though the skies are dark, something good is still there. Originally though, this phrase would have meant just the opposite. The "cloud" referred to was the plumes of smoke from the enemy artillery, and the "silver lining" was the glint of morning sun off the artillery in the background. Since many of the battles would start just before dawn, the soldiers were sometimes facing a confusing look at fog and smoke, in the predawn light. The veteran soldiers would tell the newcomers-"avoid the clouds with the silver lining", and soon those rookies would learn that "not every cloud has a silver lining" meaning they could head for the fog, which was doubly better as the haze was not from the artillery, and the fog itself offered some concealment. When the soldiers came home from the war, they would sometimes use the phrase "not every cloud has a silver lining" to mean that there were sometimes unexpected good things; but through the course of usage by those not knowledgeable of its origins, the "not" was soon dropped from the phrase.
