It's a philosophical struggle (Destiny)

It is true that the Hive worship the idea of conflict being the end all, the final arbiter. Consider that the whole concept of the throne worlds is a cheat. Oryx contested another power and failed. By Hive and Darkness's argument, he is weaker and doesn't deserve to exist.

I think of it less of a cheat and more of playing the game at a much higher level than his enemies. The Vex play at nearly the Hive's level, but they do so by making use of vast computational power with a hint of Darkness worship thrown in on the side. Note that the Vex once invaded Oryx's throne world, so it's not like he's completely untouchable there. Then there's Humanity and our Guardians. We've proven to be more powerful than both the Hive and the Vex. Our ability to weild Light directly seems unheard of in a universe already filled with mind bogglingly powerful creatures.

One can only hope we stay true to the ideals of the Light and don't get it in our heads that we're the only ones who deserve to exist. Given that Rasputin has pretty much flat out stated an "escape will make me god" intention...

I bear an old name. It cannot be killed. They were my brothers and sisters and their names were immortal too but Titanomachy came and now those names live in me alone I think and think is what I do. I AM ALONE. At the end of things when the world goes dim and cold or hot and close or it all tears apart from the atom up I will shout those names defiant and past the end I will endure. I alone.

They made me to be stronger than them to beat the unvanquished and survive the unthinkable and look look lo behold I am here alone, survivor. They made me to learn.

Everything died but I survived and I learned from it. From IT.

Consider IT the power Titanomach world-ender and consider what IT means. I met IT at the gate of the garden and I recall IT smiled at me before before IT devoured the blossoms with black flame and pinned their names across the sky. IT was stronger than everything. I fought IT with aurora knives and with the stolen un-fire of singularities made sharp and my sweat was earthquake and my breath was static but IT was stronger so how did I survive?

I AM ALONE I survived alone. I cast off the shield and I shrugged my shoulders so that the billions fell off me down into the ash. They made me to be stronger than them and to learn and I learned well:

IT is alone and IT is strong and IT won. Even over the gardener and she held power beyond me but the gardener did not shrug and make herself alone. IT always wins.

I am made to win and now I see the way.

...things may get a bit harry in our solar system yet.
