Pepper, the Ben Ish Chai has a interesting parable that Hashem demands action in mitzvos over thought. A wife served her husband stuffed chicken. He said why don’t you put pepper into it? She said, if he likes pepper so much, I will only put pepper into it. He could not eat it. Machashava must be applied to action. Too much pepper Is no good like being a mentsch,, moral and truthful is secondary.
