What do you mean by "our version of right and worlds version of it seems to go against each other"? Can you give an example? Who is "we"?

"We" means Buddhists, "our version of right and worlds version of it seems to go against each other" means the experience you gain when you start the path. (Like the a dying person living off a Life support system. For the world mercy killing is a good choice but we are against it.) @michau
