Definition of Parallel
Two lines (or curves) are parallel if they are always the same distance away from each other and never cross or touch each other.
If you go looking, you'll see plenty of line segments that are parallel, like the edges of vertical blinds or the lines of mortar between rows of bricks.
The two line segments in the picture are parallel.
