It Is What It is

This post is a rant about a pet peeve of mine - the phrase, "It is what it is." I hear that phrase a lot, so much so that my blood now begins to boil when I hear it. For those of you who are already forming an argument in your heads, zip it until you hear me out. I understand that we live in a fallen world and we will never have perfection and people fail and sometimes we just have to deal with it. Remember I said this is a rant. :)
My issue is that I hear this phrase more and more and it begins to sound like a cop-out in society at large. What it really means is that someone, somewhere didn't do what they should have, and no one held them accountable and made them clean up the mess, and now I have to bear the repercussions. What happened to, "The buck stops here."?
As a Christ-follower, a princess warrior, I am (to be) passionate about goodness and rightness, about bringing up there down here. That doesn't work with, "It is what it is." James 4:17 says, "Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." In my opinion, then, "It is what it is" comes from sin, from people not doing the good that they knew to do. Plus, it's just really annoying.
