Why do our brains release these ‘chemicals’ that make us not afraid in our last moments?

699 views

I’ve heard of people with near death experiences having these calm, soothing experiences. It’s lovely that our brains do this for us.
I know there’s a natural selection, those with the best characteristics continued, and those who didn’t have the qualities to survive would pass away. But everyone dies in the end. What made it so that all brains release those chemicals to ease our last moments?

I had near death experience,

Time stops. You think about everything all at once, all the memories in an instant. I don’t know what force drove me to make the quick decision to get out of the way from a 18 wheeler hitting me head on @ approximately 85mph.

Just some context, I lost control of my vehicle on a steep turn on an intersection on ramp, and ended up horizontal on the freeway. All I can remember is seeing 2 headlights and a gaint box shadow, I don’t how far or close the semi was, but I was able to reverse the car and get out of the way. Luckily no other car was behind me. I stood there for about 5 min. Drove to work. Graveyard shift suck.
