"It is what it is"

Have you ever used this phrase or heard someone use it? It's often used when there's a frustrating situation that can't be changed.

There isn't much that offends me, but I do find this phrase offensive because it's 100% a lie.

Nothing is 100% static. Nothing is what it is. IT is whatever we interpret IT to be. This is a verifiable fact of Quantum Physics where if you choose to see a photon of light as particle then it behaves as a particle. If you choose to see it as a wave, then it behaves as a wave.

If you choose to see a situation as unchangeable, it will be unchangeable, but if you choose to see a situation as changeable it becomes changeable.

Since all humans have the ability to choose their perspective, it 100% is NOT what it IS. It is what you choose it to be.

I avoid correcting people on this unless I'm actively coaching them, but internally I update the phrase to the following true statement:

"It is what it is, except when it is not"
