Yeah. You don't really have the choice to just stay out of it. Major, major difference there. And even if you did, you wouldn't choose to, because you actually care about it. You're much more involved with the world in general than I am. More involved with people as well, I suppose.
...I try not to control people, and fight against being controlled. I don't want to fall into either of those. Staying neutral stops me from controlling many people (because if I wasn't neutral, I'd lead), or from having someone control me in the name of an abstract. Control me at all really.
I'm not saying neutrality is for everyone, or that it could somehow make everything better. I'm saying that personally, I choose to be neutral because I like it better than the alterntives. But that's just me. I'm not telling everyone else to follow my lead, because that would be breaking neutrality as well, wouldn't it?
