Soul selling

Soul selling refers to the metaphorical act of compromising one’s values, integrity, or ethics for personal gain, such as wealth, fame, or power. It often implies making morally questionable decisions or sacrificing one’s principles to achieve success. This concept is prevalent in literature, folklore, and modern discussions, where individuals may feel they have "traded" their fundamental beliefs or identity for something they desire. The idea resonates with a sense of regret or moral conflict, highlighting the potential costs of such choices on one's sense of self and overall well-being.
