Rivers are interesting creations of nature.. She takes birth in the mountains, somewhere deep inside.. goes thru a lot of muck, junk, stones sand pebbles all along her way. She does not pick up everything, but only the necessary minerals and discards everything else that is unwanted. She brings fertile bits of soil to the plains, brings cheer, happiness, joy to the livestock, farmers and every insect on her way.
She could have the underground path and reached the sea, but she didn't. She chose to come out, see and experience things.
When you drank the river water, you were thrilled. It gave you some kind of happiness, maybe which you cannot explain in words. She made you forget all troubles/problems and stay happy even for a short while. She touched the life of one person at least for a moment, even unknowingly, and that happiness in those faces and lives of the is all that the river needs, to be happy.

Selflessness, Continuing the journey of life as it comes facing all the obstacles and Finally reaching the destination. Great learning from the story!

Kinda, but not exactly..
The journey could have been completed going underground and reaching the sea.
There is a bigger task, to touch lives of people, to give life and livelyhood all the way, which gives a better satisfaction than achieving ones own goals.
River has to join the see at last. Destination here I meant was that. As you said, it could have reached the sea by taking the underground path but it didnt happen so. It flows all the way till the sea on the ground, mountains, etc etc overcoming the obstacles. But ultimate satisfaction when it reaches the sea is that it has given life to many many ppl on its tough journey!
