Philosophy

Sezan believes that the majority of people in society possess innate goodness. He said in an interview "There are few people who can be called purely bad" But the problem is that those few bad people are the most active ones among us, and with their evil activities they keep constantly contaminating society. Sezan wishes to awake the majority of the people who are good. He believes and wants to say to everyone that the evil can only be destroyed when goodness takes control.
