Jim Rohn, a well known "motivational speaker" makes a similar point when talking about how to communicate effectively. First he says that people identify with your struggle much more than they ever identify with your success. Share your struggle and they will listen to you.
Then he also speaks about how you can speak harsh words when necessary, as harsh as they need to be, as long as those words are seasoned with tears. I am going to misquote him, but he says it something like this, "I never mind a preacher preaching hellfire and damnation, as long as he does it with tears running down his face."
Grieving anger. Good image. Thanks.

Great post. Ever come across Erik Thoennes's Godly Jealousy? Dr. Thoennes teaches at Biola and wrote his dissertation on the subject, and I think he'd like to frame this conversation more in terms of jealousy than anger. Same idea though.
