Some people like their chili spicy, some like it mild. Chili gets it's name from the chili pepper that is used in making it. You can add different kinds of peppers to make it more spicy. Jalapino is common. Habanero is extremely hot. Add to taste.

Spiciness is caused by capsaicin. This chemical triggers nociceptors, which are the nerve cells responsible for the sensation of pain from heat, which explains the burning feeling when you eat spicy food.
