A Precious Thing to Most
A precious thing to most,
In order to take it,
You must already have it.

Born in 1946, Died in 1947
A man is born in 1946 and dies in 1947, yet he was 86 years old. How is that possible?
He was born in room #1946 of the hospital when he was born, and died in room #1947 86 years later.
Feared By Most But Experienced By All
I am a five-letter word and am feared by most but experienced by all. If you remove my first and last letters I bring life. If you add an ‘r’ between the third and fourth letters I am almost nothing and if you remove the first letter from this new word, I am your home.
What am I?
Death (eat, dearth, earth). No one can escape death, but many fear it. Removing the first and last letters leaves eat, and we must eat to stay alive. Adding the ‘r’ turns death into dearth, which is scarcity and removing the first letter of dearth leaves earth, where you live, assuming this riddle hasn’t reached extraterrestrials.
Longer With a Letter Removed
What 7-letter word becomes longer when you remove a letter?
Lounger (remove the ‘u’ to make the word longer).
The More You Have, The Less You See
The more you have of it, the less you see. What is it?
Darkness.
