There is no ultimate meaning to it.

We can be logical and rational. For example, we can make survival and the ability to seek your own happiness/bliss central to the system we choose. We would do this for the sheer reason that without some minimal amount of survival protection, there can be no other goals and desires (i.e. because you're dead).

Then, if someone chooses to be terrorist and kill others for whatever reason there's a clear basis for saying that they are wrong. Good and evil are arbitrary concepts and have no ultimate meaning. Nor does choice or will or death/birth. But they have definitions and rational context.
