Excellent snapshot of how dyslexia can affect a person. Also I note how courageous this man is in openly displaying his 'difficulty'... Dyslexics are differently abled not disabled, though they do fall foul to the aggressive people in society. When someone says are you stupid when you ask them to spell something, my reply to them would be..'Look if you can't spell it just say and I'll ask someone who can'. GOOD LUCK TO ALL DYSLEXICS.

This is one of my favorites. It's very nice to see someone let go of some bitterness about something that wasn't their fault, and to not see his dyslexia the way everyone else does.

I hate the heckling laughter of the audience after she tries to light'n the mood. Takes guts to be up there in front of people telling your story, I've spent all my life with dyslexia and it's no cup of tea! I was almost in tears myself when he began to cry, because I know just how that feels. I may have missed out at high school but I'm now larning graphic design and advising my lecturers at university how they should work around me :) be strong you can effect your own reality.

well when people tell him he's stupid just because he can't read or write that's stupid.Everyone has different things that are able to do and not able to do.For instance,he can make those boots.Should he call someone who can't do it stupid?Of course not anymore than a person who can read or write should call him stupid.But if they want to be stupid for not seeing that and call him stupid..well then thats too bad for them

[fallcrysilk]

No.She's not making fun of the man,she's trying to help him.That's why he is there.If he wasn't there,he wouldn't want to be "probed&questioned"as you put it.He is there because he is willing to question his thoughts and perhaps change his perspective because he is tired of feeling bad.Otherwise,he would not be there..and that would be fine too

Fascinating! Great work!

@johncrab67 she's simply helping him, and she's not laughing at him.

[johncrab67]

I'm I? Well, I wish the shoe was on the other foot. I stand by my word. Let's see how she would deal with his inability. Also, she is pushing this man for her own ego.

If that makes me a bitch, than so be it. Put her in her own hot seat and probe her about something like the death of a loved one, and tell her.... Now, turn it around... bullshit!

Byron Katie is not making fun of this man. She is coming from a place of clarity that enables her to see the humour in how we torture ourselves with our own thinking. If you do not 'get' this kind of humour that is fine but it is a mistake of perception to think that she is making fun. Byron katie comes from a place of compassion and understanding. To call her a 'bitch' is a result of your own projection....turn it around and see where your own truth is. Are you a bitch?

it's just gotta be so frustrating for him. how can it not be? its a HUGE challenge to turn something like this around and help someone like this see the bright side of it. i must say, i realize just how much we take reading for granted tho
