In this quote, Benjamin Franklin is cautioning against becoming overly indulgent or addicted to pleasure and enjoyment. He suggests that when people spend excessively to obtain pleasure, they may feel as though they are “buying” it. However, Franklin warns that in reality they are “selling themselves” or losing their independence and free will to pleasure.
His view is that giving in to every desire can make one enslaved to chasing pleasure and compromise one’s principles. Franklin appears to be advocating for moderation and self-control rather than allowing oneself to be ruled by constant gratification according to this interpretation.
