Aimless Arrow...

I was thinking about aimless arrow - I do not know why?
Soon after some time I was intrigued by the idea of Aimless Arrow.

Why is aimless arrow, called aimless arrow?
Does it really have its own aim - that we call it aimless, when it does not hit the target?
The shooter should be called aimless, not the arrow as arrow never had an aim. It never went to hit a target; it was the shooter who shot it towards the aim.

Also, if arrow misses the aim taken by the shooter how do we know that, it was the target. May be it was the enviornment affecting the path of the arrow. As environment wanted to hit its own target with the arrow.

So in theory I beleive an arrow is never aimless.
Its when it does not meet our expectations we call it aimless arrow.

*there is more to this complicated thought, that I wanted to write in here. But, I was thinking about this few days back and I never cared to write it down. So this post is missing many valuable thoughts about aimless arrow. ;-)

aimless arrow sounds more like an oxymoron...
an arrow always has an aim.. the big question is who decides the aim of the arrow...
