However, this poses a huge conflict for we who follow the demands of our egos, who want to feel that we can be good and win at the same time.


I think 'for we' in the above is wrong. Instead of 'for we', 'for us' looks right. But I'm not sure if my opinion is right. Could you tell me if I am right? If not, please teach the correct one.

Thanks.

You are right.

"For us" is correct. "For we" is wrong because "for" is a preposition and should be followed by the object pronoun "we".
