If personality is denied to Universal Being, this is only because of the littleness it imposes on that Being, because it lessens and minifies. But if children, adolescents, and many or most adults need the support of such a belief to maintain religious aspiration and provide personal comfort, why not let them have it? The others, who have been educated so highly as to regard it as an illusion, are entitled to their view too. Philosophy is able to point out what is correct and what is not in both views.
