Life is a Test. Every situation, problem and even simcha (joy) is a test. We cannot be tested if we are not prepared. So G-d gave us a treasure unlike any other, the Torah, to illuminate our path and enable us to pass our test with dignity.
The Midrash teaches that when Moses ascended Mt. Sinai to receive the Torah from G-d, the angels were fuming with jealousy. "Man is not worthy of this holy gift," they argued, to which Moses responded, "Did you experience Egypt? Did you suffer? Do you have parents? Do you eat? Of what use is the Torah to you? We humans need it precisely because we are human and imperfect. The Torah will guide us and protect us."

Moses triumphed over the angels and Hashem gave the Torah, His most precious diamond to Moses and to all Israel for all eternity. Can you ignore this gift?
