True honestlｙ and True lie

A long time ago I saw a movie called "True Lie" in which Arnold schwarzenegger was an actor.
"True Lie" is an interesting phrase.

I think every parents wants their children to be honest.

I think I am also a very honest person. I cannot lie.

However if someone asks me "How are you?"
I will say "wonderful" or "excellent" because this is how I would like to be .

If you think that this is not honest, I would like to say that it is a true honesty or a true lie.
Because it makes everyone happy including myself.

But if I talk to my husband, I should tell him my true situation.

I think that a doctor will tell the patient's real situation to the patient's family.
But he won't say the same content to the patient unless the patient wants to hear it.

Good deed or bad deed can be decided by the motivation behind it.

A woman who was working in the bank stole money to give it her boyfriend.
That motivation is love, but it is not connected to eternal happiness.
That action makes God and your own conscience upset and they will go to hell.

Sometime our honesty can hurt people.
I guess sincerity is more important than honesty.
It is important that our action makes God or our conscience happy or not.
Because our purpose of existence is to make God happy.
