I'm refering to Satan's choice. According to a story...which I don't remember, maybe it was Paradise Lost, Satan said that
"It's better to reign Hell than to serve in Heaven."
So I'm asking, is it really better?

Do you know what is hell and do you know what is heaven?
do you know the ruler of Hell? Do you know you will serve in heaven?
The ruler of Hell is satan and in heaven is God.
Do you know and can you imagine that in hell you will suffer heat from the lake of fire and in heaven you will have everlasting life with God.

The answer would be NO, if that were possible, but it is not.
Noone will rull hell, but God, and noone rules Heaven. God will reign as King. But, we serve either the devil or God, and thats a choice we each msut make. We cant even say we wont make a choice. Because if we dont choose God, we automatically have chosen the devil. This is all in the Bible. I always tells people to get a Bible, read it, study it and pray, as Jesus is coming soon. Are you willing to take a chance on HELL? I think its a huge price to pay for being wrong. So, everyone should study and pray and find out for themselves.
BUt, believe me, you wont run hell or heaven. IF you feel the need to run things, you cant be in Heaven. Thats pride. God alone knows best and is in charge of it all. The devil has some time left here on earth to do his thing, but not long, as Jesus is coming to rapture His true people home. The rest will stay here and go thru the great tribulation. I wouldnt wish that on anyone. But, only Gods ppl can be in Heaven. Would you want heaven like earth is now, with all the chaos, strive, corruption and violence?? all of it?? No, God must end sin, to make Heaven a place of pure joy, love and peace for the rest of us that will serve HIM.
Serve Jesus and Heaven is only the frosting on an already delicious cake.

Not after the wicked have perished at the final judgment, from denying the only "way, the truth and the life". The treasures of Heaven are not even to be compared with the wages of sin, which is death, eternally. Rom 6:23. Sin and sinners will be no more, and perfect peace and love will reign for etertinity more.

What you are referring to is a fictional story. How can it be better to reign where you are separated from God, light, and others and in continual agony? Does it not make more sense to spend eternity in heaven with a loving God in His light, with no pain, no tears, and with all the believers who have gone on? This is the most important choice we will ever make in our lives as the consequences are for eternity.

The real question should be "Is it better to be a master than a slave?" Heaven and hell are just ideal extremes as a way of maintaning control over the masses. I'll just say there is no true honour in "serving;" a truly moral person rules over their own domain, so as long as to not interfere with the domain of others.

It is impossible to rule Hell... Hell is the darkest emotions of the human soul, these emotions are impossible to control.. hence Hell being so hellish... Serving Heaven is about controlling the dark emotions and the temptations and seeking for higher powers

Not much point ruling in a place that does not exist.
Hell is not a place, but a condition.
Hell=Hades/
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Ha′des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.
Hades done away with, along with death.
(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
No death, no graves.
So Hell/Hades = our grave.

Yes, It is better for Satan for many reasons. His nature is evil and hellish.. he can't do in heaven anymore. but he's misleaded! He'll serve also in hell, he'll lead nothing!
It's better for him, for if he served heaven I would have tortured him with my requests, you don't know me when I annoy someone:
"Bring me some cold water.. which is extremely hot"
"I need some sugarless coffe, with extra sugar therein" :(

Heaven and Hell are the two states of a human MIND. So, now, answer this question for yourself, if you want to pet bad ideas and thoughts (which is HELL) than think about nice and decent things of helping everyone and doing research on something to help humanity (which is HEAVEN)...
Now, answer this for yourself...
