...you know, we see a lot of Jedi hiding. Yoda? Hiding in a hut. Kenobi? Hiding in the desert? The Masters in KoOR 2? Hiding all over the place. One could even make a case that the Jedi in the prequel trilogy were hiding, in a metaphorical way, from the world... but that's a stretch.
As for 'bringing balance to the Force', the canonical explanation is that the Dark Side is an imbalance, and the Light the natural, balanced state of things. While I like the concept, as it fits the rest of my understanding of the Jedi, Anakin reeeeeeeeeeally didn't do too good a job of it, judging by all the BBEGs still hanging around...
