   You mean not your past condition. Neutrality is an advanced step. To see all   
   sides of an argument, with detatchment.

   "Hit over the head with a blunt instrument" :-).   
      
   "We" live in the 'past condition' referred to above. You see this when you   
   step aside from the 'group'.   
      
   Try and re write in the first person . Always an interesting exercise eg   
   "What I am saying is I have lived etc etc".
