Why rebel against God?

Jacob, the brother of Nephi and son of Lehi, in The Book of Mormon, wrote he and others wished that, "...we would to God that we could persuade all men not to rebel against God, to provoke him to anger, but that all men would believe in Christ, and view his death, and suffer his cross and bear the shame of the world; wherefore, I, Jacob, take it upon me to fulfil the commandment of my brother Nephi."

My question is, why should we rebel against God?  We've already accepted His Plan of Salvation, received our precious bodies, and know of Him and His goodness--why would we ever rebel against that Loving Parent?  Why would we ever choose to disobey that Perfect Father who loves us Perfectly and provides for us?  Maybe we are pissed because of the inequity in the world?  Maybe we think of that homeless person we avoided on the street or just wished we wouldn't run into, and we are mad at God for them?  It's just not fair that bad things happen to good people?  Even good people trying their best to serve God have bad things happen to them...

The real question, however, is: why do YOU do things that you know you shouldn't?

A better question, and one a trifle less judgmental is: why am I not experiencing the joy that this life was designed to be?  President Russell M. Nelson answered just that question in his General Conference talk in October of 2016 called, Joy and Spiritual Survival.  This life, offerers experiences For our Spiritual Development and Learning.

All I have to do is not rebel against God and live my life helping others.  Love God and my neighbor, right?
