Summary

[edit]
Description

If reflection is to be thoughtful and deliberative, is retro-reflection to be introspective or retrospective?

While a mirror reflects light, if light is aimed a a mirror at an angle, the light reflects at a similar angle, but away from the light source. A retro-reflective object reflects light back towards the light source no matter what angle the light is aimed at the object.

Does this mean that one can be obtusely introspective?

Or am I think about this all wrong?
