a better man than i

Wow. That's freaky, i wasn't writing it with meter at all. Perhaps I should rewrite with that in mind.

You know, I'm pretty sure I agree with you on the nature of savages and such. In this case, I just liked
the idea of a rich snobby sort of person condescending to someone he perceives as having a simple life. I think it makes more a comment on the person thinking that their life is so hard, than Gunga Din.

I think Rudyard Kipling's Gunga Din is very much exemplary of the attitude of Brits towards the subjects of the Empire. I really wasn't so much supporting it, as playing off it, trying to make comment on the narrator in this brief encounter.
