I dont think that we're meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have to have faith.
Nicholas Sparks

Interpretation
The speaker contrasts the human desire for explanations with the limits of what can be known or rationally justified. The line suggests that some experiences—especially those involving loss, love, or fate—resist tidy interpretation, and that insisting on full understanding can become a form of control or denial. “Faith” here functions less as doctrinal certainty than as a practiced trust: accepting ambiguity, continuing forward without complete answers, and believing in meaning or goodness even when evidence feels incomplete. In Sparks’s typical thematic terrain, the sentiment aligns with characters learning to endure uncertainty and to commit to relationships or moral choices despite not being able to predict outcomes.
