Hi,
"The first of two types of commandments are… matters regarding which Gd has implanted in our minds an understanding of their benefit, or of the benefit in avoiding them... The second type are matters regarding which the mind [sechel] does not declare that they are objectively good or bad. The Creator added instructions and prohibitions in these [latter] matters in order to increase our reward and success."
(Rav Saadia Gaon, ha'Emunot v'haDeiot 3)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
