Jemand, der dauernd nur auf andere aufpasst, muss nicht sich selbst ansehen.

Someone who only takes care of others all the time, he doesn't need to take a look at himself.

Not only that.
In a subtle way, you also imply with your ego "somebody else is not able to make it alone".
You think of yourself being greater, able to do more than the object you focus on. You know... looking down on someone. The two parties are not equal.
