Pesachim 111b - Kavod, Kavanah and Mindfulness

Halacha goes beyond mindfulness in what it expects from the way we act. Kavanah is more than mindfulness, it means directiveness. There is meaning and direction in everything we do and in the way we do it. Kavod, honor, as a gradated idea; and where on the spectrum of Kavod we place an object or an individual is more telling about us than it is about the object.
