Build cathedrals just to fart in them

(idiom)

To put deep care and meaning into something - only to follow it with something hilariously undignified, awkward, or unexpected. A poetic expression of how beauty and absurdity coexist.
He gave a TED Talk that moved the crowd to tears while trying to suppress a fart - and tripped walking offstage letting it rip. We build cathedrals just to fart in them.

We spent hours crafting a delicate love letter to humanity… then added a joke about a presence queef. We build cathedrals just to fart in them.

Don't fucking listen to them

Somebody told you not to say anything about this and YOUR KIDS DIED EXPLICITLY BECAUSE OF THAT DECISION. You need to un-make that decision.
Hym "I figured somebody would do something about THIS before anybody would, say, murder any kids but somebody told you not to say anything about this and of you don't I'm going to in the form of a child stabbing. Don't fucking listen to them. They already lead you astray. It isn't and WASN'T EVER GOING TO JUST BE ME. That's ISN'T an option and, just like living forever in paradise, the notion they sold to you that if I hadn't said anything it would have just been me is a lie and wishful thinking on their part."

showing them the thrift store

What you tell your significant other what you're doing with an attractive person while you're actually cheating on your significant other, taking pictures of it, and secretly laughing at your idiot significant other for being such a trusting idiot.
