Dear colleagues in forgiveness,

As I did with your responses to the "Forgiveness: Easy or Difficult" question, I am also responding collectively to your reported thoughts concerning constructive and destructive anger, which include the following:

CONSTRUCTIVE ANGER is anger that
is actively resolved and released through positive action
is anger for which the angered person takes responsibility by clearing it up
is anger whose energy is applied to constructive initiatives and solutions
is grounded in compassion 
is self-protective
is based on valid, accurate perceptions

DESTRUCTIVE ANGER is anger that
is reactively perpetuated via inner repression or chronic acting out
is stifled for fear of being disapproved, 
persists for the sake of one's being heard and obeyed,
is used to act the anger out in retaliation and/or escalation of hostility
nurtures feelings of frustration and helplessness
is hurtfully expressed
is grounded in selfishness 
is based on erroneous or unrealistic perceptions

After inventorying your distinctions between easy and difficult forgiveness, I drew some general conclusions. This time I invite you to report your own conclusions concerning the above inventory. Some questions you might consider in doing so are:
Has anything been left out in either category?
Does either (or both) of the categories lend itself to an overall generalization?
Is there an overall generalization that contrasts the categories themselves?
