Letter to a Foreigner V2

Letter

Dear Sara,
I'm writing you this letter to tell that I'll come to Milan, on Friday evening.
I do not want to miss this conference so much, we have discussed. I must be there. I'll bring forward my idea because I think it is just that. I can not watch what is happening without doing anything, without a move, and I'll go in the opposite direction, wind in the eye this time. I have no intention of forcing you to accept my ideas are not enough words, let alone a letter. But forcing you to think,that yes. In my long evening on the motorway, with the radio turned on as the only companion I have thought and rethought what you have said, we said that.

And I came to the conclusion that for me the foreigner are you. Despite being born in the same way, whether you grew up playing with a hide, to kick a ball, running through the streets of the country, despite the way I laugh and share Sunday morning in church with you, our ideas have taken different paths, are foreign to each other. Although the color of our skin is the same.
I'll try to understand why a person believes in a god instead of the mine, try to understand why a man is turned towards the east or west to pray, I try to understand why a man chooses to spend his entire life to wander in for a camper around the world. Because I want to do it, because I want to understand. But that's not going to move even a finger to see why a man lacks respect for another man.
I will not because it does not deserve time, does not deserve dedication and I will oppose until I get strength to do it. The world needs more. 
It's stranger for me the way you think, to conceive the reality that surrounds us on fixed schedules, a mountain can rise by the sea. 
It's stranger for me your  of tone when you are speaking of them, is not a language that stops me in understanding a person or an emotion. 
For me, your ideas of them are foreigner, the ideas have no color.
Open your eyes, look a little 'over there, beyond your limits, perhaps you will see that you're really wrong.
