I cannot believe Simon you chose to end your life this way. When my son passed away following a car accident you told me be strong and to take care of Anna my life. When Anna passed away you rushed to be my side and said, be strong and take care of Ina, my daughter. Now, my friend what made you to take this step? I don't know the situation you were in, following your fight with Corona and a worst car accident /injury, I am yet to get into details but this was just not right. When I shared with you my plan to start a rehab for drug, drink addicts and those in depression in memory of my son you offered to support me and to take me to Manasa rehab to study the process, you also forced me to publish a special page in our magazine. How can I forget those positive & encouraging words and your constant calls that filled me with more courage and reason to fight adversities. And then my motivator, Why you had to go, why?

Shocking and terrible news. Can’t believe Simon is no more. He was involved in so much of good work and passionate towards St Mary’s and it’s progress. He has helped so many people, only those got help from him know that and many may not be aware that Simon was behind those good deeds. He had keen interest towards special children and children with Autism. He was instrumental in bringing so many people together. Well, I am lost for words. Praying for the family- his mother, wife, children and near and dear ones. May the Almighty Lord give them the strength to bear this. Rest in peace dear Simon

Rest in Peace........ Angel on Suicide pandemic worldwide, electronic devices are dangerous and earth is healing, a God's design ? to Valentina Papagna, Sydney (Frequent praying for or Visiting Purgatory souls Seer or So Graced Divine Instrument ) dated 27 March 2021.... This morning, I visited a particular part of Purgatory which was overcrowded with very sad and depressed souls, a place of torment. The angel then took me away from that place, and as we started to walk away from them, the angel stopped, turned to me, and said, “I have to tell you some very sad news. Do you know how many people on earth die by suicide each day? It is like a pandemic! Many have died by suicide in New Zealand.” Quite surprised, “New Zealand?” I said. ....... He said, “Many there die from despair. Everywhere in Australia too, but most of them that commit suicide and die are in Japan and Malaysia! For every little thing that worries them, or for which they feel guilty, they cannot take the pain, and they commit suicide. But this is also happening throughout the world.” ...... “Would you like to know why? What is the reason for all of this?” ....... I listened to the angel as he explained. ...... He said, “They use too many electronic devices, and that makes them very depressed. There is no one to help these people. Majority of suicides are by young people. The only solution for all these people is to teach them how to cultivate and touch the soil. The earth is healing. There is something in the soil that when they touch it and mix it, that helps make the person better.” ...... He continued, “Touching and turning the soil is good. All these electronic objects affect the mind and body of people. You’d better tell people and let them know how dangerous electronic devices are.” ...... As the angel was talking, he was tilling the earth with his hands. ...... “God gave the earth to people as a healing for them; there is something very special in it, a lot of goodness for your mind and body,” he said. ...... I said, “Thank you, my guardian angel. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for teaching us about Your special creation for humanity.” Lord, have mercy on us and help us and protect especially the young people. .......

God has given everyone free will to choose between Good and evil. Yes, one can make better use of mobile for good use but most Youth fall prey to illusions in mobile or more worldly things, follow worldly cine stars, try to follow them or misuse it and get addicted. God has given technology for Good but satan (Evil spirits of lust, nudity and addiction...) tempt, trap and lead one to utter despair even forgetting God to ask forgiveness, mercy or repentance and land into hellish situation. Above for them to change instead of getting trapped in their own countinous guilt or despairing thoughts.... Basically to change negative thoughts and same time to remember God to seek forgiveness for their karma.

If the social worker do this what is the condition of other people. Social workers are leading other people to walk boldly even in their difficult days. He would have approached some of his friends for sharing his problems. Already ended life. No point in thinking .

Exactly I was also thinking same..... and now a days by sharing problem with friends/closed ones nothing helps. The question comes "who are you to interfere in our personal matters?" so many people stay away from all this. These days are not like back 25-30 years... People were caring so much to one another. Value was there for relation and not for money. Now a days Only Vitamin M makes noise. You can find rarely who carve for relation and keep/maintain relation...

I am shocked and deeply saddened by this incident. Simon well educated and a dignified person a good donor and always a man ready to help anyone in need specially the poor. He had a lot of concern and good will towards Shirva Church and also the Educational Institutions.As a President of Old Students Association of Shirva St Mary'S Junior College he had given immense service to the general public. It is very sad to hear that he ended his life. May the Lord grant him Eternal Rest. May the Lord console his aged Mother ,Wife ,Son , daughter and all his family members.Simon was a good friend of mine and used to greet me during special feasts.We truly miss Simon.RIP.

Social Environment has a big impact on the psyche of those feeling down. It doesn't matter if it is a different community, region etc. When we victimise a person for no fault of theirs, it plays on the mind of those feeling down and they start losing hope. A positive society is very important for people to flourish. Open our papers newschannels, there is only brutality. Day in and day out, there is no police action, nor social resistance. Many more will be victims of the prevailing social condition. Today him, tomorrow anyone among the rest, because we are growing a poisonous society around us. God will not save us, if we can, we will save each other.

Suicide is not the solution for the problems but it generates chaos among loved ones. One thing I should appreciate about muslim community in india is that although they economically most backward community but suicide rate almost equal to zero just because the reason their religion prohibits it and they firmly adhere to it.

Actually real kujuma is partly right...India is a different ball game to settle down after living such a long, productive, life in the gulf or western/developed countries ...abroad, if people commit, they usually follow up on that commitment, be it with your gulf business enterprise, or getting permissions/ licences from local public authorities....but here it is usually only bribing, and giving false promises...nobody has any commitment here..only a commitment to take bribes from you and trying to hoodwink you, because people here think a gulfie has lots of money and is wanting to invest...I have had a bad experience by investing in real estate in blore, because documents were fake, and added stress now of never ending court case and other unnecessary issues.. that is why I recommend most gulfies need to sit tight with their money after retiring or invest wisely and carefully, only after doing thorough due diligence and background check, and don't fall for other peoples' big talks and false assurances ...everybody here wants a piece of your hard earned gulf pie..so just invest in some mutual funds, or save your money for your children's education abroad...don't get into business unless you have some experience here...your gulf experience doesn't count here!

Sunil Pinto, dubai/udupi What you said here is 100 percent right and true to its every word. I ended up burning my finger with some good intentions by investing my hard earnings to help someone to prosperity in business but realised later that it was biggest mistake ever made in life. However, God saved me miraculously from getting into the bottom. After working very hard and living a disciplined life in middle east it's very difficult to adjust here with all sharks, crocs and snake infested society. This Country and coastal districts in particular has completely changed tothe worst than what it was decades ago and now one has to live only with a hope for the better. However, ending one's life is not at all solution for the problems in life. Sad to see such strong personality has ended up seeing no road ahead. May brother Simon's soul rest in eternal peace.
