Agency.

I believe there was a war in Heaven and a big battle was fought over the idea of agency. Satan had a plan; his plan was for everyone to come to earth and be forced to do the right thing and return to Heaven by sheer force. He wanted to force men to do as he said. Christ had a plan, too. His was better. He thought it would make more sense for every being to have the ability to choose Heaven, to choose good, to choose Him, to choose the right. He thought happiness would be more valuable to us if it came through our own decisions.

Isn't it interesting that the same war we fought before we came to this world continues today? Thank goodness for the brave men and women who fight for freedom, essentially for the agency, of every human being to be able to make their own choices and decisions. They truly are defending a sacred notion.
