The parable of the pharisee and the tax collector (or publican) is again a parable about prayer but also a parable about the sin of pride and the virtue of humility. Pride leads to be being happy about oneself and the humility leads to being at rights with God. The latter is what we should be striving towards.

The image used in this podcast is "The Pharisee and the Publican" by James Tissot painted somewhere between 1886 and 1894. It is the collection of the Brooklyn Museum, New York.
