In addition to being a tangible paracausal force, the Light is also synonymous with a certain existential philosophy, as detailed in several Lore entries. The way of the Light emphasizes cooperation between intelligent beings, with the goal of creating "a gentle world" where all entities may harmoniously coexist. Its antithesis is the philosophy of the Darkness, which claims that "existence is the struggle to exist" and that all intelligent life must compete to survive at the expense of other beings. The philosophy of the Light is also referenced in the Marasenna as "the way of the bomb," meaning that it encourages a complex world with many interrelated parts that rely on each other to achieve greater goals.

*[[Ulan-Tan]], a renowned Warlock, suggests viewed the Traveler as a necessary symmetry to the Darkness as part of a cosmic balance and that Light is interconnected across space and time. He saw the Traveler's inherent goodness led it to sacrifice itself in order to stop the Darkness and save humanity, so must humanity return that goodness by healing the Traveler.<ref name="TD">'''Bungie (2015-5-13)''', ''Destiny, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies#The Darkness|The Darkness]]''</ref> | |||
