When I was growing up, my father said something to me I will never forget, "Son when you were born, you cried while the world rejoiced. Live your life in such a way that when you die the world cries while you rejoice". We live in an age when we have forgotten what life is all about. We can easily put a person on the Moon, but we have trouble walking across the street to meet a new neighbour. We can fire a missile across the world with pinpoint accuracy, but we have trouble keeping a date with our children to go to the library. We have e-mail, fax machines and digital phones so that we can stay connected and yet we live in a time where human beings have never been less connected. We have lost touch with our humanity. We have lost touch with our purpose. We have lost sight of the things that matter the most.

Why does the writer derive that we have lost touch with our humanity ?

Because people have become indifferent to human values and feelings

The correct answer is Option (4) → Because people have become indifferent to human values and feelings

The passage contrasts technological progress with emotional and social disconnect. Though we can land on the moon or send missiles accurately, we fail to connect with our neighbors or spend time with our children, showing a loss of human values, empathy, and relationships — which the author refers to as losing touch with our humanity.
