Ali, who is an amateur boxer, and a recent college graduate who wants to go into nursing, thinks of boxing as an art form. When Resident Philosopher Carolina Flores asks him why he thinks boxing is art, he says because "you can fall in love with it". And it must involve a practice. It is a skill-based practice. Cooking, video-games, etc., are all art forms. RP points out that his notion means that art is everywhere, and he says "yes, anything can be art." So she asks if cleaning the house can be an art, and he says, "yes, if you're really passionate about it". She asks about creativity and how is it involved in boxing. He answers that it is in the person you're fighting - "someone who is slick and they know how to maneuver their head", you got to know your response. "You have to be creative in that situation...There is creativity in everything you do." RP Flores sums up Ali's point of view: Any activity can be an art, and it becomes an art because of the attitude you are in..it has to be done out of love." Ali agrees completely, and says that if you don't love it anymore you will loose your ambition. And then you loose the art.
