Stuck In The Middle?

So, I have found out that it is sometimes nearly impossible to stay neutral between two of your friends fighting. You see other people take sides, and you are trying so hard not to take sides. One thing that I have realized is that I can see the negatives in both of them. Looking in from the outside, I don't get why they don't just talk about it so that they both can better understand one another. I see that the conflict kind of revolves around personality differences, and I find myself struggling to get along with the one because of her personality. When I am hanging out with each of them, it is so hard not to take their side. Its hard to balance just listening and giving advice. I can give advice, but it can't seem like I am taking sides. So, that is not going so well haha! Even earlier I found one of my other friends siding with one of the girls and really said some mean things about the other. A good thing though is that I got really defensive about it and stood up for her. I just wish that things could work out for them so that we could all get along. I hate how they are treating each other, and its not the way that it should be. I wish that they could just see how immature they are being and how they are putting so much negative energy into all of this. Finally, I am extremely disappointed in how someone who is sort of a leader handled the situation. Basically, she sided with the one girl. Such a great role model for all of us to look up to right? I was reading in Romans 12 today about how we should have peace among all people and should not make enemies with them. This brought to mind this situation, which is sort of depressing, but so true. Christ calls us to love one another, not to hurt each other.
