Summary

This quote suggests that the enjoyment or pleasantness of a job does not necessarily indicate that the job is morally right or appropriate. It implies that individuals should not solely base their judgment on the enjoyment they derive from a certain occupation. Instead, they should consider factors such as ethical considerations, societal implications, and potential consequences in order to determine the propriety of an employment. It cautions against being swayed by temporary pleasure and encourages a more thoughtful and comprehensive evaluation of the suitability of a job.
