Is this a play of Words or play of Math? It probably is a combination of both. Parallel lines, in Euclidean geometry, never intersect.
Parallel things in real life keep intersecting, don't they? When we work on two tasks in parallel, the tasks keep intersecting with each other, from a time perspective. People whose lives are parallel, keep bumping into each other. Euclidean geometry says that people whose lives are parallel ought to have never met! And I thought a marriage makes lives of the spouses parallel!
Moral: Life follows more of Projective geometry than Euclidean geometry. Also, life would be much more complicated if it followed Euclidean geometry.
PS: Does Math intersect Philosophy or are they parallel?
