You are a fluke of the universe; you have no right to be here.

You're right of course, Vulcan logic is Greek stoicism.
The greatest allegorical brilliance of Star Trek was having three superpowers at cold war with each other, so when the Cold War ended in real life, the Klingons could become allies while conflict with the Romulans continued.
Three superpowers in competition in the same quadrant strengthened all three powers, which was alluded to in Star Trek V, and the Alpha Quadrant powers stopped any solitary superpower from conquering the entire galaxy, as seen whenever the Borg or the Dominion tried to invade.
