For several years when someone says, "It is what it is," my response is often, "Yes, and it's not what it isn't."

The whole thing reminds me of "que sera sera," or "what will be will be." Yeah? And what will that be?

The approach seems to deny agency. It is what it is and I have no power over it being that way. Orly?

So, it sounds like a cop out. Maybe it would be welcome to say, "It is what we make of it."
