Captain pretty much covered it, but since you got me thinking about this for the first time in almost a decade, I'll throw out my analysis of the "balance".
You can't think of the balance of the Force like it is a scale with good on one side and evil on the other and the only way they can be balanced is if both sides are equal.
The balance of the Force is more akin to a person walking on a tight rope. When properly balanced, the person will be able to walk across the tight rope without any problem. The dark side is like a person standing on the ground throwing rocks at the tight rope walker trying to make him lose his balance and fall.
