The Force is the Force of course ... but is it?

I got this idea from dangermousie by way of crumpeteer who made this quote:
If Anakin was meant to bring balance to the Force, the Force is a cruel mistress.
this one sentence triggered something for me which has been hatching for a long time..

I have always suspected that the Force has its own agenda. Having read most of the EU books centering on Luke and love/family/relationships I realize that the Force is manipulating him as much or more as he is using the Force.
We always have been fed the hokey-dokey belief of the Force being benign if used right, but what if it is really all neutral, just sitting there waiting for the right person to come by and trying to make ends meet on her own agenda?

We have Anakin who is the Chosen One, he is the hero of old who will bring balance to the Force. But what balance? The Jedi of old think he will destroy the Sith, Palapatine thinks he will destroy the Jedi.
From the Force's POV? To wipe the slate clean, no more arrogant strutting around Jedi and the resurrection of the Jedi order in a completely (almost opposite) way to what the Jedi Council was. What if Anakin indeed was the chosen one only for the Force to get rid of the restrictive Jedi principles and with it accepting human failure within the Force, to restore it to a more humanized/natural Jedi order we come to see in SW EU.

Anakin in his struggle to meet the Jedi Councils principles was destined to fail from the beginning. The Force led him on if not much more so than Palpatine led him on. The Force needed Anakin/Vader to resurrect the Jedi. To have an order at its disposal that would see and use the Force in all its glory and failure. more human way. By accepting that the Jedi are stronger and more use to the Force by allowing all their human failures to be accepted and worked with rather than being regressed, the Force is following her own agenda, no matter what.

Woah, talking about being benign :s
