Put another way, I think your category of "good lies" is overly broad and much of them are simply convenient lies that are either ostensibly benign or in the short term achieve some goal, but ultimately have negative consequences. But this isn't some sort of karmic system, the teller of the lies need not ever suffer the consequences, and that's what I was getting at with the ocean/lake/pool analogy.
