I agree with this. I use the phrase essentially as "this is the reality" to either set a baseline, or just a different way to say c'est la vie. It frustrates me when people say it's always a dismissive phrase, because when I am dissmive with it I'm not doing so in a negative way. There's something to be said about letting little inconveniences lie and fade away.

I absolutely agree. But to go a step further, there is a lot to be said for accepting things as they are. It's even a core tenant of buddhism.
