  1. 20th Centruy translation:

    You may enjoy the job, but that doesn't make the job a respectable one.


  2. just because a position is comfortable, pleasant, or enjoyable, does not make it right. or, better put, the right and just job/position/activity is not always the most enticing.

    at least, that's what i think.
