You make good points. The Titan fully realized, in my opinion, aspires to the ideal of the Warrior which I think can be valuable to cultivate.
You should check out this article: The Warrior and The Sage. I read it a few months ago, and it was meaningful in helping me understand how there might be more.

As a Warrior:
My purpose is overcoming resistance. Life is a series of battles, and the most important are zero-sum struggles that must be won.
My world is a battleground, an athletic field, a negotiating table. It's also, at intervals, a victory party, a hospital, a funeral.
I view others as fellow combatants. Some are allies, some are opponents, and sometimes they switch sides, which I must bear in mind.
I view myself with rigor. I know my strengths and maximize their advantages. I know my weaknesses and keep them hidden.
My thoughts and feelings fuel my dedication. I maintain an open mind, but also strive to convey my passion and conviction.
My goals are of paramount importance, in part because others are depending on me to achieve them. I'm committed to success.
As a Sage:
My purpose is learning and helping others learn. Life is a series of mysteries, and the most important can't be solved but must be studied.
My world is a classroom, a laboratory, a carnival. It's never just one of these things, and sometimes it's all of them at once.
I view others with curiosity, because I don't know who they really are. Even if they're my students, they may also be my teachers.
I view myself with amusement. I've learned enough to realize how little I know, and I discover my wisdom when I embrace my ignorance.
My thoughts and feelings come and go, as thoughts and feelings do. I acknowledge their influence while holding them lightly.
My goals are flexible, because I know I already have what I really need. I'm committed to a process without being attached to a given outcome
