Fostering Respect and Unity in Our Community and Country

David from Remuera

I have been reflecting lately, all these five years since leaving the public service sector, and the ongoing challenges that many individuals face with their mental health, particularly those who are striving to regain stability after resigning from high-pressure public service roles. There is an … View moreI have been reflecting lately, all these five years since leaving the public service sector, and the ongoing challenges that many individuals face with their mental health, particularly those who are striving to regain stability after resigning from high-pressure public service roles. There is an increasing need for supportive and nurturing friendships in these circumstances.

It is widely recognised that work-related stress impacts one in five New Zealand workers, as reported by the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand. The public sector is one area where this statistic is particularly evident. In 2023, there were 63,117 full-time equivalent public servants working across a wide range of occupations, with nearly half based in the Wellington region.

Presently, public servants within various government departments are grappling with significant stress and mental health challenges as the National Government’s cost-saving measures take full effect. Further information on supporting public servants can be found through the following link: baptist.nz..., where an article I have written has been published on the Baptist Churches of New Zealand website.

Henceforth, having worked in the public sector personally, I have encountered criticism and disrespect directed at the government as a whole. In my experience, this negativity introduces undue stress and undermines the working environment.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, government departments faced heightened strain and financial difficulties, resulting in the departure of numerous highly skilled public servants. In some instances, individuals were compelled to seek legal assistance in order to exit their workplaces due to misunderstandings and the burden of resolving them, and are highly affected by the hurts caused.

Thus, the lingering stigma surrounding public servants, often perceived as being selfish or self-centred, has continued to impact mental well-being, even after the pandemic, negatively. In today’s society, there is a heavy reluctance to consider issues from diverse perspectives, and in particular from individuals of the older generation of the opposite gender where there is a majority of them in our current workplaces, etc., which exacerbates stress, misunderstandings, and may trigger traumatic flashbacks for some and suicide. Consequently, many individuals have sought to see a counsellor to manage these challenges, and the journey toward healing remains ongoing for those navigating the current economic crisis and still seeing a counsellor.

In light of these realities, valuing and appreciating our friends and loved ones is vital, acknowledging that life is short. Most importantly, when our friends express genuine care by confronting us with the truth, it is imperative to seek clarification rather than misconstrue their intentions.

Furthermore, extending empathy and support to those enduring similar struggles is essential, fostering conversations marked by love, grace, and a commitment to understanding diverse perspectives.

As we encounter these challenges, it is vital to turn to our faith for strength and guidance. Scriptural passages such as Matthew 11:28–30 encourage us to surrender our burdens to the Lord and find rest in Him. Other passages, including Jeremiah 4:11–28, 3:22, Isaiah 40:12–31, and Ezekiel 37:1–14, inspire us to focus on the Lord and pursue heartfelt repentance.

Therefore, let us continue to support one another and cultivate a community characterised by love and understanding. Nevertheless, prioritising time with friends and family, fostering respectful and open relationships, and ensuring that others feel valued are essential to maintaining strong connections.

Overall, I would strongly like to emphasise by challenging all the older generation (i.e. Baby Boomers, etc.) of our society, to take proactive steps towards bridging the inter-generational and generational gap issues of concern by valuing and mentoring our fresh blood, our younger generation (i.e. Millennials, etc.), rather than imposing control within both professional and personal environments. Nevertheless, encouraging mutual respect and understanding by looking through the lens of others’ perspectives will contribute to fostering a positive atmosphere at all times within both professional and personal contexts, creating a balanced and diverse inter-generational space.

Moreover, we ought to stop selfishness, self-centredness, disrespectfulness, and paper-chasing attitudes and commit to consistently demonstrating respect and looking at the other perspective of the lens and by allowing the other person to have the chance to explain themselves before making fast views or decisions whilst it is not true about that person, to everyone in today’s society. Check out this link for more info on how we can become one: baptist.nz....

Let us build a community characterised by kotahitanga (unity and togetherness) and manaakitanga (hospitality and kindness), where individuals feel supported, respected, and valued, regardless of age, ethnicity, and background, and work by reducing the mental health and suicidal rates amongst all the younger generation of today’s society.

In conclusion, let's stop, think, and ponder our part as individuals and members of our community, and ask ourselves if we’re doing enough within our local community and wider society. Are we truly living out the Lord’s call by loving one another, looking out for each other, and nurturing meaningful friendships? Whether we’re spending time together often, going away, or staying local, we are called to keep our hearts and hands open, reaching out to those who may feel isolated. Moreover, in times of crisis, when someone feels unseen, despair can set in, and for some, even thoughts of suicide may arise. Thus, we ought to show real connection and care, fulfilling the real human touch of showing respect and understanding to everyone in today's society climate.
