is doubtful but it's not a bad idea to bring a change of underwear.

is the hope of a future life which arises from the fact that man feels that the temporal is inadequate to meet and satisfy the demands of his nature.

It must be admitted that this has not been the case and that, owing to the unfitness of the common understanding for such subtle speculations, it can never be expected to take place.

is perhaps possible, but if we become immortal then we will no longer be Dasein, for Dasein is defined by the possibility of its impossibility (death).

If pressed on this point, he might explain himself as follows. If there is an afterlife for us, and if we continue to be Dasein in the afterlife, then we will continue to be faced with death as a possibility, and the Beyond will be a world, in the Heideggerian sense. On the other hand, if we become truly immortal in the afterlife, and death is no longer a possibility for us at all, then we will have entered a radically different state of Being and will no longer be Dasein. An entity whose possibilities always have to remain open, who is guaranteed a future and is essentially impervious to death, is not Dasein. Such an entity would have a fundamentally different way of acting and understanding.
