"Take Care"

...is what we say when old friends, family members, neighbors, even strangers leave us. "Take care," we say without a thought. Should we instead say "Give care"? It sounds odd, but if we always take we eventually need more than there is to give. Caffection implies giving instead of taking, so next time you depart, tell your caffected partner to 'give care' and see what they say. Gotta love a language that allows such latitude.
Give care today, and you'll take all the care you need.
