"How are you?"

I find the words "how are you?" to be meaningless,

We all ask it but surely we are all aware that nobody would be honest? Why would I admit my pain, why would I admit I'm not doing well, there isn't anything anyone can do about it so why would I admit it and make them feel worse? 

Why would I guilt trip someone else into feeling worse because they are worrying about me, why be honest and let someone feel hopeless as they try to fix the problem, a problem that they cant fix. Its my problem. 

I find the question silly because we all know that we are lying to eachother, we all know we are suffering with a smile. 

So very silly.
