Funny story, I was talking to my companion the other day about a very gospel oriented movie called "The Emperor's New Groove". You must be saying to yourself, "Uhhh, Sis. Carro, that is not a Gospel movie..." Don't believe me? My companion didn't either. Let me shed some light on you.
Emperor Kuzco was very selfish. In fact, you could say that he rather resembles what the scriptures call the "natural man". He was thinking all about today and what he wanted without giving a thought to how it might affect the people around him. He started to realize that every time he thought about himself, something awful would happen. Like when he upset the squirrel, and then the panthers ended up chasing after him. Once he was put through the trial of becoming a llama, and learned to feel compassion for those around him less fortunate, he was able to overcome the trial and become a better Emperor that didn't focus on the temporal things. In fact, in the end, you see him enjoying the "simple" lifestyle of a not so lavish summer palace, but a little adobe house on a hill with friends right next door. Kuzcotopia changed from being an expensive (and destructive) dream to a humble and everlasting happiness.
Also, I might just mention the fact that Kronk had the Holy Ghost with him, on his shoulder, he also had the devil on the other side. BUT, he chose to follow the promptings of the angel. And it ended up working out better for him in the end.
Look toward building an eternal palace, because in the end, that's the one you'll be staying in for eternity. So remember to live for the future, not the now... or you might just get turned into a llama... I'm just sayin, it's very possible.
