Hello!

| Each person is born to one possession more valuable than all his others - his last breath. |
This is a fancy way of saying we are all going to die. Life is precious, and we may not realize it until we are literally taking our last breath.
The author is saying that our final breath, which is our last moment on earth, is the one thing we keep until the end. That's why the author calls it a "possession."
Does that make sense? |
