Originality

 

"It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation"
                                                                - Herman Melville

Inspiration is completely opposite of copying.
One should think for themselves, use their own creativity and be resourceful rather than live off the hard work of somebody else. 
It isn't clever nor is it amusing to pose someone else's work as yours .By Changing the pronouns, changing the names of the exact same story you can't claim it to be your work. Your own take on someone else's work is acceptable where as  erasing the authors name and pasting yours isn't.
Plagiarism isn't a small issue and we must avoid it. By copying you are not only cheating the world but also yourself. You are showing people something you haven't put in effort on. You are deceiving people and getting the praise you don't deserve.
Many people claim that getting unique ideas is impossible but trust me it isn't. If it weren't for distinct, peculiar ideas, the human race wouldn't have progressed and it wouldn't have reached the heights it has today.
I request all of you to stop
