New Zealand / Aotearoa should fix its own problems before helping other countries?

Should New Zealand help other countries before helping themselves? I think that New Zealand/Aotearoa should help other countries while helping ourselves. Although our country might be neater, progress faster, one of the best places to live, and have lesser problems, I still think we should help other countries. Because other countries might help us later, we might get fewer resources, other might not help us, it might take a lot of time to fix all the problems, and if we try to fix all our problems we might create new ones.

Our country will be neater and better. It'll be a good tourist attraction, and we might have a cleaner and fresher air and water than it already is, however, we might get fewer resources and if we can't get them in New Zealand we might have to go to another country. For example, we ran out of something in New Zealand that helps us a lot and provides for a lot of families and companies, we will have to ask another country. But if we never helped that country or we can't trade something good enough for it as a country we might take longer to progress. People might also leave our country because of this circumstance.

People might stay because we have lesser and less concerning problems than other countries. New Zealand might become one of the best places to live or just good tourist attractions because of the cleanliness and scenery. For example, our country has small problems and it doesn't bother someone that stays in the middle east, but if we start more and more people I think that it won't as great as it was because there might be a shortage of a lot of things including hospitals by the number of people living here. If we do fix smaller problems will it help our country?

The government might fix the smaller problems but they might also create bigger ones. Imagine them trying to fix a small problem that creates one that will take plenty of money and time to fix. If they try to fix environmental issues that might harm the environment even more. For example, they are cutting down trees for more land to build on, but that might be homes for birds and insects etc. Birds and Insects could help us more than people constructing buildings. Maybe the environmental issues will go up by 30%, then after that, we might need other countries to help us fix our problems with the environment.

These are the reasons why I think New Zealand should help other countries before helping themselves. Sure we might progress slower but who's in a rush to be the top country. If we rush to the top we might fall down faster, so that's why I am for New Zealand to help other countries while they help themselves.
