Honestly, honesty does not always work. Sometimes you have to play a little bit around the rules and not tell everything in order to do the right thing. I'm not saying you shouldn't tell the truth, but sometimes being honest isn't the best option. Like if someone is on their deathbed and want you to tell their only son that they love them, then should you still tell that son? Obviously you would, but what if their son died earlier? What do you tell the person? "No, your kid died." I don't think that is the best thing to say...
