Grace beyond the law
In the SD
Hello Rabbi, I recently read in one of the commentators that the approach that we go beyond the law is so that God, the Holy One, will give us a good reward in the next world. There is also the direction that He will go with us beyond the law.
I wanted to ask if the rabbi really wrote anywhere what his opinion was on the matter? From a pragmatic perspective, one should probably arrive at a more pleasant society or higher rewards and punishments. But is that the only dimension in the story?
Why really shouldn't good also be right and that's it? (Just justice without mercy).

I disagree with the thesis you presented. The reason for doing things from the law is that it is proper behavior. Like mitzvot, we do them because that is proper and not for the reward.
Why are some of the duties defined as within the law, because this is not an insurmountable requirement but rather a virtue that allows one to be considered a reasonable person even without it. Just as the law does not contain all moral requirements.
