Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

We do what we must, and call it by the best names.


We do what we must, and call it by the best names.

Summary

This quote suggests that sometimes we are driven to do things we don't necessarily want to do, but we justify our actions by giving them noble or honorable labels. In other words, we try to frame our actions in a positive light, even if they are motivated by necessity rather than personal desire. It may reflect the human tendency to rationalize our behavior and maintain a sense of moral superiority, even when faced with difficult or unpleasant choices.
