Pride cometh before the fall, and the ones who know this best have usually fallen a lot, and they are my FAVORITES.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Pride collapsing into failure gets treated almost fondly, as if the fallen understand something others miss. Calling them favorites flips the usual judgment around, favoring humility learned the hard way. It's an affectionate spin on an old warning.
