Why should we follow the Five Books of Moses --The Law?

We are told in the Five Books of Moses, to Love G-D, Know the Law and Keep our hands from doing evil. It seems that these Laws and Rules are generally not followed, unless we happen to understand and agree that they are acceptable to us.

The World is a harsh place to live in and the people are worse. This leads us to seek what is beneficial to our own welfare first and foremost. Later if we get around to it, we will work on these other things like: Love G-d, Know the Law(HIS LAW), make sure that we do them(if we think about it). It seems that way when I look at the world and the people around me. We are also quick to find fault and justifications not to listen or accept that which is written in the First Five Books of the Bible or Tanach. Surprising as I believe that most have NOT read them, or even attempted to really understand what they read. However, we are ready to agree and accept those that give a opinion of "I'm OK, You're OK, Everybody else needs to change" type of speech. But, are we OK? Is the World we live in getting Better or Worse?

So back to the original question: Why should we follow the Five Books of Moses --The Law?

What is your opinion, question or comment?
