I understood what the idiom refers to, but I don't understand the ill wind actually benefits some other people, but why the idiom says that blows NOBODY any good. It seems to me it is inconsistent.
Could someone please explain it to me? Thank you!
It's an ill wind that blows nobody (any) good.
Prov. Even misfortune can benefit someone or something.; A calamity for one person usually benefits somebody else.
