I think the STS offer us the "gift" of fear and the STO give us the "gift" of hope.
Why "gift"? In the case of fear it is a gift because accepting it (giving into fear) pushes one towards making the choice to be STS, becoming full of anger and hate toward those whom we fear. Getting pressured and fed up with it all pushes us to watch out for ourselves. Accepting the gift of hope or faith, on the other hand, reassures us that we are on the right track, that all will be well, and pushes us to keep striving to work towards our dreams, working with others and for others to accomplish this.
This is the density of choice after all, and we are given gifts which help to make the choice. It just depends on which gifts we accept.
