Learning to handle conflict from an outside perspective.

I am not technically totally outside of the situation I am referring to but I do feel almost totally emotionally uninvested in the outcome. It's an interesting challenge to help friends deal with a conflict we all face together. I am lucky my demeanor is calm and my thinking has remained clear on the whole topic. I am not entirely sure it my assistance is all as helpful as I'd hope it to be but I am confident it is positive help in some way... and that's good enough for me. I can only do what I can do.
