that's fucked up. I ranked them as follows:

Boatman.....stayed constant, siezed opportunity
some other guy......also an opportunist
lady.......sacrificed for her love, but still.....
friend....trouble maker
man.......unforgiving nitz.

if asked to rank the words above in order of importance, it would be more like this:

love....it's all that really matters in the end
morality...to thine own self be true
business.....money makes the world go round
sex.....there's always your imagination
friendship.....as long as you have love
I agree with your re-ranking, though I'd place friendship after morality.
I took the test and it was pretty off...


Here are your rankings.

Love
Sex
Business
Friendship
Morality


Love is in the right place, but in reality, morality and friendship probably have pretty equal ranking with me. Sex, to me, is the closest you can get to a person, and therefore, should be reserved for the person you love (however, this woman wasn't cheating as such....she was doing what would get her to the man she loved...it was more business than emotion) so, in the context of love, I'd probably place sex third or fourth. Business, to me, is a way to make money; money being a means to an end.

However, it doesn't matter how much money you have if you don't have love and friendship, and you can't keep either one of those if you don't have morality. Sex is lagniappe to love and friendship (because, ideally, your love should also be your best friend).
