Drug abuse solves no problem
Drug abuse would hold no attraction if everyone adopted a positive outlook on life, the Commissioner for Narcotics, Mr Alasdair Sinclair, said today (Saturday).
Officiating at an anti-drug carnival organised by the Finnish Missionary Society at Tai Po, Mr Sinclair urged the participants to make good use of their life.
He accepted one could not control the family or society one was born into or whether one was gifted or not.
However, he said: "Whatever our circumstances, we can choose whether to make the most of our potential."
The Commissioner warned that problems could not be overcome by taking refuge in drugs.
"Whatever the temptations, however hopeless our life appears, drug abuse will only make things worse.
"When we have troubles, we should face up to them and set out to make things better," he said.
Mr Sinclair said this required a positive attitude towards life.
It required looking outward, he said, adding that smoking and drug-taking would only damage our bodies and diminish our potential.
"Instead of despairing at unhappy circumstances which we cannot control, let us try to change the things we can control," the Commissioner said.
