Well, it's true, there's always a choice, but, it's important to say that, in chemistry when an atom look out for other is to adopt " a new form " to get closer to the perfection, in fact, the periodic table of elements shows how all of the elements "try to reach" the composition of those elements that are in the right side of it, due to, they are the representation of "atomic equilibrium" to put it in some way.
To me, it's a representation of how we should be, if people have certain conditions, always look after the perfection closer to the current state, and then go to the next level and so on.
People almost always have a choice, sometimes is just that we're not looking with the eyes really open. Thanks for make me think about it and made me remember all my love for chemistry.
