The false (ego) self always has a goal since it must distract itself from it's own unreality. When the ego's goals are not met, suffering results. The unaimed arrow represents our true Self, (also known as Awareness or Consciouness.), which has no goals and is open to whatever arises. When we bypass the ego and identify with awareness, there is no suffering because every outcome is acceptable and it is only resistence to current experience that creates suffering. Only the false self can suffer becuause only the false self resists what is. Let the ego go and there is noone left to suffer.
