CCC lacks a little je ne sais quoi, apart from confusion over Confucian. Also, "commendable" implies somebody to commend, whereas virtuous is an absolute term, like gravity. But I asked Google, who personally knew Mr Confucius. Indeed there does seem to have been some connection to VVV: <Influence in 17th Century Europe "Life and works of Confucius, by Prospero Intorcetta, 1687. The works of Confucius were translated into European languages through the agency of Jesuit scholars stationed in China.[7] Matteo Ricci started to report on the thoughts of Confucius, and father Prospero Intorcetta published the life and works of Confucius into Latin in 1687.[8] It is thought that such works had considerable importance[citation needed] on European thinkers[who?] of the period, particularly among the Deists and other philosophical groups of the Enlightenment who were interested by the integration of the system of morality of Confucius into Western civilization.[8][9] > Reading the brief [Wikipedian] Confucian description, it's somewhat introspective for a personal life of goodness. VVV is more outward directed with Confucian principles merely a basic requirement - necessary but not sufficient conditions. Science, capitalism, objective reality ... those are essential underpinnings. VVV also looks better than CCC though both could be confused with Roman numerals. Mqurice
