the less sense something makes

[alpacinou]

Does it work to say "the less sense something makes"?

Is this okay?

The older I get, the less sense the world makes to me. Several years ago, when I was a teenager, I found some aspects of life strange and crazy but some other elements of life felt sensible, grounded in reason. I could hold on to those logical and more solid aspects and keep going. But now that I'm an adult, I feel like the whole and life are unfathomable.

This sounds all right.

I feel like the whole and life are unfathomable.

This doesn't. There's something missing.

Perhaps:

But now that I am grown I feel that none of it makes any sense.

Thanks but I want to know if this is okay:

@alpacinou The writer is saying he can't figure people out. No matter how hard he tries to do that there is much that doesn't make sense. And the older he gets rather than getting closer to figuring them out the opposite is true.

It starts off talking about life -- specifically humanity. He says that at least some of it made sense to him at one time, but now none of it does.

The phrase "the whole world and life" seems to be original (not that that's a bad thing). So what does "the whole world" mean there? People. And "life"? People again. The subject is life -- specifically humanity. But it ends with "and life" almost as if it's an afterthought. Except that is the subject -- the only subject. (I'm probably the only one with that opinion.)
