I have ZERO tolerance to plagiarism. In fact, I have an allergy to it so bad, that if I am at my computer, my hands start moving in a very funny fashion. The index finger of my right hand automatically keeps going to the number 0 (ZERO) or it starts typing the characters Z, E, R, and O, in that order repeatedly. The condition is so bad that it is uncontrollable.
If I am holding a document in my hands, both my hands behave in a funny fashion. They tend to pick up the document and I am forced to hold it tightly at its edge. Then my hands start moving forcefully in opposite directions, thus tearing the papers into half. It does not stop there. My hands then join the folded pieces and again tear them. This goes on till the document is torn to tiny pieces.
If I am holding a red pen in my hand, I develop a tendency to pierce a hole into the document. Next, even if I try to prevent it, my hand forcefully starts crossing out large sections of the paragraphs on the document. Then it starts writing, in large, bold, red letters the characters Z, E, R, and O, in that order repeatedly. Next they also write the characters F, A, I, and L, again in large, red letters.
At the same time, I experience palpitations, increase in blood pressure and a maniacal tendency to kill someone. It takes a lot of effort to prevent myself from pulling out my keyboard and breaking the screen of my monitor. I develop red eyes and and a temperature. I also tend to tear my hair out. One lasting effect is my hair is turning white faster than ever. It has also thinned. Since while doing all this, I also feel like boxing someone in the face, I think I have broken a tooth in my lower jaw, leaving a gaping hole for everyone to see when I smile.
I have consulted many psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, neurosurgeons, doctors, sadhus, babas, and black magic wallahs. None of them have been able to find a cure for my allergy to plagiarism. They say there is simply no cure.
I just have to stop reading plagiarized content!
