That doesn't make sense. Light has to enter your eyes for the light sensitive cells in your retina to detect them. If light isn't reflecting off a surface, how will light waves enter your eyes, except by traveling directly to your eyes from a light source? If, in another universe, light was everywhere, all the time, and not reflecting, then that would be really bad light, as you wouldn't be able to make out anything.
There's no useful reason for us to be able to see actual independent light waves and photons. The very function of light, to us, depends on the fact that it is reflecting. We don't
see objects.
We see the way light reflects off objects. Light that allows that to happen, to me, classifies as good light.
