Alternative culture: The closing of Comics Connection

Comic Connection - where I used to buy game cards from

One of my favourite franchises in Singapore, Comics Connection has closed for good in Singapore. Its last branch at Plaza Singapura closed in December 2015. Established in 1992, it had many as 25 outlets in Singapore at its prime.

My sister and I used to buy Japanese comics, game cards and card sleeves there. When we were younger, I used to think that the shops would last for ever.

The theological point

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.  Matthew 6: 19 -21

If even big corporations like Comics Connection, Kodak (for cameras) and THQ (for video games) can close down within decades, what more of our achievements and assets on earth we have?

Why not focus on things which are eternal?
