Amen. If one truly has the choices of heaven and hell standing before them, what choice would they make? Once we see the light we will never want the darkness.

If that is true, then why did satan and 1/3 of all the angels choose to reign in hell rather than serve in Heaven?

Well, remember there was no such thing as hell when Satan first rebelled and he did not and does not have omniscience. Satan was blinded by his own pride in thinking he could be a better God than God. Mankind is also blinded by his pride into thinking he doesn't need God or can go to be with God on his own terms. That is why God says he hates pride more than any other sin.
