The answer to whether or not what is wrong to us should be wrong for everybody is simple. 1 Corinthians 8 talks about how there is nothing wrong with eating meat offered to idols. The meat wasn't unclean and thus it was perfectly fine. But if there was a Christian brother who saw that eating that meat was a sin then you doing it in front of him could cause him to stumble by causing him to sin against his conscience. So what may be wrong for you should not be wrong for everybody but we as Christians should be sensitive to the consciences of others.

Good points, though. :-)
I agree in the sense that Paul was talking about gray areas here - eating the meat was a gray area to Christians at the time, but there are things in the Bible that are specifically defined as sin, and are sin to everybody, so conscience isn't really a factor there.
