Meditate then mediate.

I've had my fair share of mediation. Tough work. Especially when it's between people close to you. Things get heated up more quickly and easier to get carried away when you're bias to one side. 

Personally, I won't wanna try it again anytime soon. I'm just not ready for it. I have not grounded myself in the 'neutral' stand yet. I've been standing with one side. Which I shouldn't be. BecauseI'm  mediating, not assisting. 

And also because I let my feelings and emotions carry me. As much as I try to rain calm, it doesn't work (most of the time) since I'm SO biased to one side of the argument. Bad bad. 

Anyway. I hope that the small things that people say would be unheard of if it isn't something nice or important. Mediating is about having the involved parties coming to a common consensus. You can't do that easily if you're involved. 

All the best.
