Agency and Piano Lessons
Satan rebelled for the same reason we rebel: "he didn't want anyone telling him what to do". Satan's doctrine is "Do as you will" or as Korihor taught "whatever a man did was no sin but that a man fared according to the management of the creature". Living your life only the way you want = the sin of pride.
The truth of agency is like piano lessons. You can't just sit down at a piano and create music. Only through years of discipline and learning the rules of music are you free to create and fully express your individuality through music. Anything else is just banging on the keyboard.
Only by mastering the rules of music of both melody, harmony, dissonance, rhythm, tempo, etc can a person become free to act and to create. Doing whatever you want at the piano without the rules is not freedom. Without a mastery of the rules, there is no freedom to act, or to create music. Satan's version of freedom results in only disorder and noise.
