Love this illusion

This one is cool, and simple. Are the horizontal lines in this image parallel?

Isn’t it amazing? I actually think it is easy to tell that the lines are in fact parallel, especially on a computer screen, where the pixels seem to line up. But without thinking just glancing at the image, the lines seem to curve dramatically!

This reminds me of the way that love changes our perception of physical beauty. Looked at in detail, many folks aren’t beautiful. But when those same folks are loved by another person, they become intensely, dramatically beautiful.
