Do you need to wear eye protection at all times

HI! im new to lasers, if We always need to wear goggles when using high powered laser, how are we going to see or enjoy the beam? i tried using my laser outside and wearing goggles, I cant see the laser, it seems more dangerous.
 





I only use goggles when working in places with reflective surfaces or doing some burning (thing that I don't do much).

Since I know the risks, I setup all carefully before turn the laser on. If I want to show my lasers to someone else, I ever go outside, shinning it to the sky or for far objects, if I wanna show my laser burning some stuff, the second person will wear the goggles and I will stay in a secure position.

I don't think goggles are obligatory in all occasions, I just need to use my imagination and think what can go wrong, depending on this, I decide if goggles are obligatory or not.
