Analysis of Converting Lead to Gold
Step 1: Light a fire beneath a chemical concoction of passion, which begins with a cloudy, dreamy color, and bring it to love's boiling point. Do not be alarmed, if you see sparks flying as the love begins at a low boil. This is a good sign. Soon, all remnants of the element of possession will rise to the top. You should begin to see a little light filtering through the murky mixture. Quickly dispose of every last drop of possession. The remaining liquid should be coppery colored, darkened by the lust that lines the bottom. Note: lust has a higher boiling point than love.
Important Warning: If large ions of possession remain in the mixture for more than 30 seconds following the boiling of love particles, the entire mixture will explode, before it is ready. This could cause serious damage to your laboratory!
Step 2: Bring love to the higher boiling point of lust. Stir the mixture. Drops of jealousy mixed into lust should float to the top. This is the part of possession that is more difficult to find, buried deep inside of lust particles. Skim off the lust from the top. Break apart the particles of lust, using enzymes of freedom. Freedom is extremely expensive, but if you can afford it, the remaining consistency is a kind of selfless desire, which is lust without jealousy. Now, use fusion to attach the selfless desire to the remaining love particles. The mixture should now appear silvery.
Note: If you are unable to use enzymes of freedom to strain the lust mixture, simply dispose of the lust to create a crystal clear friendship.
Warning: A common side effect of consuming selfless desire is to feel a powerful pleasure in witnessing the happiness of another. Proceed with caution!
Step 3: Add a few hydrogen-based explosions. Given time and trouble, the purest form of love will convert from silver to a dense form of gold.
