Dutch term or phrase: In deze visie kan ik mezelf niet vinden
Eerst komt er een opsomming van kosten en dan : in deze visie...

"I can't find myself in this vision", klinkt me niet goed in de oren. Misschien: I cannot agree with this vision?
Graag reacties. Bedankt

I cannot agree with this view, I cannot go along with this view
Explanation:
Van Dale N-E geeft 'cannot agree with', maar ik vind 'cannot go along with' idiomatischer. 'View' klinkt natuurlijker dan 'vision', zie weer van Dale N-E, waar 'view' de eerst vermelde vertaling is. 'Vision' is een beetje hoogdravender in het Engels dan 'visie' in het Nederlands, dat gewoon 'mening' kan betekenen.
