Many things in the real world are approximately fractal or logarithmic. For example, if you examine a shore line it will be a wriggly line. Examine it at more detail and you will see a similar pattern but at a smaller scale. Even more detail and you still have the same (or similar) pattern at yet more detail. Computer-aided graphics use this property to generate landscapes: storing a small amount of "data" and replicating it at different scales is far easier than storing masses of data.
The logarithmic function also has this scale-invariant property. If you are interested, read the attached link about Benford's Law. The article does not require much mathematical knowledge - only curiosity.

How do you relate parallel and perpendicular lines to the real world?
If you are sitting in a room, the ceiling and the floor are parallel to each other. The walls are perpendicular to the floor and to the ceiling. So any line on these surfaces will be parallel to or perpendicular to any line on the other surface. And if they were not, the building could be quite unstable.
