@WillaKissing I don’t even mind (respectful) opinions being offered, it’s just incredibly annoying when someone is so convinced that they’re right and their way is the only way. Especially when they haven’t been in your shoes!

WillaKissing · 56-60 @OlderSometimesWiser There you go, that is mine as well. Because I have yet to see love to conquer it all, or time to heal my wounds.
Yes! That is correct! That is the whole point of that saying (it is what it is).
That's what the 'saying' is suppose to say when it is spoken... that something contains nothing any more informative than the meaning we assign to it, but of itself just sitting there on a shelf, it provides no informative meaning at all UNTIL we assign a meaning to what we THINK that object or thing should mean to us or should mean to society.
That is why 'it is what it is'!
If it's meaning isn't obvious, which means it has no inherent meaning of itself, then all it is, is just a 'thing' ...and a 'thing' is what it is; a thing and nothing more!

However, despite the vast number of authors who cite it, the source of the remark in Butler is seldom given.
