Because there is no written right or wrong.
Our human perception is a perception limited to merely us. Seeing as we are the dominant creature on this planet, it's easy to forgot that we're one amongst many. Thus, what we believe (with that I mean every opinion and thought of every human on the planet) is merely a collection of one of many.
What we believe to be true is a mechanism to make us stay alive. Because what do we do in a lifetime that matters on a universal scale? Reproduce? Make a lot of money? These are all trivial and unimportant things when you look at the total picture. Even if you would literally save the world... twice, it wouldn't even scratch the surface of being universally important.
And so, because every lifeform wants to keep existing, but since there is no actual point to it, we make our own reason. We praise our existence, put ourselves in the center of attention in terms of Gods, excuse invading area's are already homes to other creature; because we're human, and to us we're priority number one. I'm of course speaking in a purely bio-mechanical point of view.
Opinions are part of this reasoning. For every opinion out there, there's one that is exactly opposite. If there was one opinion that was actually true in essence, the opposite one would not need to exist.
But back to your question; Why does it make us uncomfortable?
Because in a lot of ways our opinions/perpective is all we have. When it's threatened or taken away from us, it makes our very human-reality vulnerable, even if only the tiniest bit.
