Is using someone else’s work as your own without any recognition or compensation wrong?

In my opinion this is action is simply wrong. I’m a strong believer that if you have made a very strong and hard working job you should have credit for it. I’ve written various books and I’m proud to think that I’ve done a really good work. I worked hard and I truly think I deserve to be proud of my work. I don’t think it’s correct for someone else to come and just copy paste my work and take credit for it, when that person didn’t work hard as I did. And I think I have the right to judge this people who take work without working because men tend to do this, they tend to take what it is easier for them to do. And this should change everyone has different point of view, and no one thinks the same. People should work hard and then take pride on their job, as I’ve done. I think it’s unjust if I’ve made a work I should be the one who decides who can use it and if I want to sell it or let anyone else use it. People should be able to make their own achievements, and be proud of them not take others and put your name. Through a work you can see people, you can observe it and if you copy that than you are not showing yourself. Humans need to accept their life and be able o express their life without shame. Making their own work shows they are proud and copying means they are hiding even more of what humans tend to do. Humans should seek happiness, and getting someone else work is not creating their own happiness they are copying it and this is not correct.
