Your assertion -> things are ok with the mundane (ලෞකික) world -> wrong!.        The purpose of the Anicca is to demonstrate ABSOLUTELY NOTHING worthwhile as far as the mundane world is concerned.  It's worthless because it does not fulfill our desires in a permanent fashion.  The abusive partner will leave, the illness will go away and the bad situation will turn for the better. But alas, its still very fickle as you will become old, deteriorate and eventually pass anyway.So what is Anicca ?Anicca -> things do not fulfill our desires</blockquote>
