Do the Lines Bulge in the Middle?

Optical Illusion

Here’s a simple question. Do the lines in this picture all go straight or do they curve around to make a bulge in the middle?

The lines in the picture are straight lines. Hard to believe isn’t it? But take a straight edge like a piece of paper and hold it up to your computer monitor and see.

It looks for sure like the lines bulge in the middle but they don’t.

It has something to do with the little squares inside the bigger squares and the way it is shaped. I don’t really know exactly why it looks like the lines curve. And like you probably did, the first time I saw it I thought they must really curve. Even after I put a straight edge up to my computer monitor I thought, “The lines must be curving a little.” But they are not curving at all.

Double and triple check your straight edge and you will see just like I did that the lines are all straight.

There is a way that seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.

Proverbs 14:12 (NIV)

Be sure that you are following God’s way and you will never go wrong.
