But if you've given up entirely on humanity, life or hope, you are not doing anyone a favour by trying to force that on anyone else. All you are doing is sharing your hemlock so you won't go down alone.
It is not the 'secret' of humanity that human beings are worthless and bad, and that nobody can improve so it's a waste to try.
It is spiteful. Don't do it.
the converse is also true -


17. if you are kicking ass, try to show what you have learned to anyone who will listen, so that they may kick ass also
