(Star Wars) Bringing balance to the force. Why?

I just saw all the star wars movies again one to six, and one thing from the three first movies bothers me a lot. The Jedi are constantly talking about this profecy that Anakin Skywalker is the chosen one to bring balance to the force. Now that is fine and all, but why would they allow balancing the force? The Jedi, and the good side, are as far as i can understand clearly overbalanced. They even say that the sith have been extinct for over a thousand years or something like that. So bringing balance to the force is probably the worst thing the Jedi could do! What am i missing here?

It's a common misconception that "balance" equates to equality between good and evil. It does not. Balance, in the Force, is represented by the light side, emphasizing peace, neutrality, order. The Sith represent chaos, disorder, and violence. When there is imbalance in the Force (i.e. the Sith are running amok), the galaxy is at war, people are dying, bad things are happening. Remember, the Force isnt a philosophy, its an actual fact of nature that runs through all things. When people are purposefully perverting it and corrupting it by drawing from the dark side, it is felt by everything on some level.

That's why Anakin's prophecy was so important. He wasn't just going to beat the Sith, or save the Republic, he was supposed to bring peace to the galaxy on a fundamental level. That's why his fall and betrayal was so crushing. It would be like if Jesus came down from heaven and started shooting up orphanages. Of course, Anakin did fulfill his destiny in the end, by both siring Luke and killing the Emperor and himself, the "last" (movie Canon) Sith Lords.
