Are you prone to taking sides in an issue? Everyone involved in a dispute is eager to recruit you to their side. The more support they can generate, the stronger their position. Yet if you do so you are alienating the other side and adding to the strife.
A peacemaker must have an open channel of communication with both sides. This requires that you remain neutral to remain above the dispute. A peacemaker is above because he understands the higher value of resolving the dispute rather than winning it. You can bless both sides by refusing to join either. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they are my children.
