Looking directly at the sun is inherently hazardous and something one should never do. Just because it did not hurt does not imply it was safe to do so. I am sure you have seen the effect of direct sunlight through a lens setting fire to a piece of paper- now consider the same effect directed at the fragile retina at the back of your eye. Damage may have been done only to show later.
