 When I shop, I don’t always check where products come from, but I do think about it sometimes, especially when I’m looking for something specific or if it’s an item I know is important to support U.S. businesses. I’d be willing to pay more for something made in the U.S. if the quality is better or if I know it supports local jobs and industries. However, if the price difference is too big, I might hesitate, especially if I can’t afford it or if I’m not sure the quality justifies the extra cost. It’s definitely a balance between supporting the economy and sticking to my budget.

Scientists, though, say these experiences might just be the brain reacting to trauma, like a flood of chemicals creating hallucinations. I think there could be truth in both views—maybe NDEs are our minds trying to make sense of something we don’t fully understand. If they are real, they could mean there’s an afterlife, which is both comforting and a little scary. Either way, NDEs remind me how mysterious life and death really are.
